Does potassium diformate have development prospects after the pigs are banned from antibiotics in 2020?

With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for meat has increased significantly. The major feed enterprises and aquaculture enterprises are looking for their own anti-antibody program, and there is more high demand for the penetration rate of feed additives. Is there any development prospect for potassium diformate after the pigs are banned in 2020? The answer is yes, because potassium diformate is a new type of feed additive, which has the growth promoting effect of antibiotics, and is non-toxic and residue-free. And it has the effect of promoting the growth of weaned piglets and growing fattening pigs.

In the early stage of reincarnation, many aquaculture companies may not know what they really want, and they are excessively pursuing low prices and good quality, and they will not hesitate to lower the quality requirements to meet the false needs of customers.

In fact, potassium diformate will become simple and easy to understand for antibiotic feed additives. In 2001, potassium diformate was approved by the European Union as the first non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent to replace antibiotics. China also approved potassium diformate for pig feed in 2005.

The advantages of potassium diformate feed additives:

1. Simple to use, can be used for both feed and drinking water.

Potassium diformate is a mixture of potassium formate and formic acid, and is connected together by forming a hydrogen bond with the formic acid carbonyl group and the formic acid carboxyl group. Potassium diformate product is a white or slightly yellow crystal or crystalline powder, which is easily soluble in water. Potassium diformate is stable under acidic conditions and decomposes into formate and formic acid under neutral or alkaline conditions. .

2. No resistance, no toxicity, no gene mutation, and metabolites will not pollute the environment.

Potassium diformate, as an organic acid salt, has low volatility and no bad smell compared with organic acids. The solid form is easy to feed processing, easy to dissolve in water, low corrosion and other unique advantages. It is reported that 0.65% potassium diformate is equivalent to 0.44% formic acid, but the effect has been significantly better than 0.85% formic acid. It can promote the digestion and absorption of protein and energy by animals, and also improve the digestion and absorption of various trace components such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

3. Food saving and high efficiency.

Potassium diformate can significantly increase the pig's daily gain and feed conversion rate. Due to its special slow-release effect, the acidification effect is superior to the commonly used compound acidifiers.

4. With health care function.

Potassium diformate has strong acidity and can pass through the stomach. It can improve the internal environment of the digestive tract and reduce the pH of the stomach and small intestine. According to experimental research, 85% can reach the small intestine through the stomach, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. It can replace antibiotics and has the effect of antibacterial growth promoters.

5. Good compatibility, easy to be compatible with other additives.

Potassium diformate has rich synthetic raw materials, simple synthetic process and good compatibility, and is easy to be compatible with other additives for industrial production.

Faced with the threat of "super bacteria", with the pursuit of sustainable development and the announcement of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pharmaceutical feed additives have undergone a cycle from widespread application to gradual withdrawal. In 2020, the overall situation of "feed ban and breeding reduction" has been determined, and China will also officially enter the first year of "no resistance". After the ban, the breeding industry will have unlimited prospects for the feed additive potassium diformate.
