Using potassium diformate to improve animals' digestive utilization of nutrients

The advantages of potassium diformate gradually became apparent after the feed was banned. Both the feed production enterprises and the farmers have given different degrees of praise. Everyone knows that potassium diformate is a substitute for antibiotics. It can adjust the pH value of the animal's digestive tract, improve the intestinal micro-ecological environment, and improve the digestion and utilization of dietary nutrients. Today, Chuandong Chemical will explain in detail to potassium diformate to increase the digestive utilization rate of nutrients by animals, and activate the production potential faster and more.

Potassium diformate has similar effects to antibiotics, and has a beneficial effect on improving growth performance and preventing animal diseases. It can stimulate the feeding of animals, the production of endogenous secretions and the absorption of nutrients, by changing the pH in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the gastric emptying time and improving the activity of pepsin.

Potassium diformate is slowly released in the digestive tract, has a high buffering capacity, can inhibit the increase and colonization of undesirable microorganisms in the diet and gastrointestinal tract, and plays a role in the physiological protection of the gastrointestinal mucosa. It is easy to effectively use nutrients in the diet, improve its digestion, absorption and retention rate, and is conducive to the deposition of nutrients.

Studies have shown that adding 0.9% or 1.0% potassium diformate to the diet of weaned piglets can increase the apparent digestibility of dietary dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorus and crude ash. It has no significant effect on the digestibility of energy and fat. Roth et al. reported that adding 1.8% potassium diformate to piglet diets can reduce the amount of nitrogen excretion in pig manure and urine, and increase nitrogen deposition in the body.

Mroz and others reported that the addition of 1% potassium diformate to the diet of growing boars (24% lower lysine than required) can increase the apparent ileal digestibility of phenylalanine and tyrosine.

Potassium supplementation increased the body's nitrogen deposition by 3.7%. It can be seen that adding potassium diformate to the diet can effectively increase the interest rate of nitrogen in piglets and growing pigs.

The report believes that the addition of 1.2% potassium diformate to the diet can significantly increase the apparent digestibility of dietary crude ash, crude fat and net energy of sows during pregnancy and lactation.

There are few studies on the utilization of potassium diformate on the digestibility of nutrients in broilers. It is reported that adding 1.2% potassium diformate to the Kebao broiler diet can significantly increase the nitrogen retention rate of the body, and adding 0.6% potassium diformate to the Aibaijia broiler diet can significantly increase the dietary protein.

It can be seen from the above that the addition of 0.6% to 1.8% potassium diformate can improve the digestion and utilization of nutrients in diets by livestock and poultry to a certain extent, promote nitrogen deposition in the body, reduce nitrogen emissions from pigs, and reduce environmental pollution.
