Potassium diformate, let you see what is non-antibiotic feed additive

 2020 is the first year when the feed end "resistance ban", the breeding end "resistance reduction, limit resistance", and animal products "no resistance", the animal husbandry feed industry is facing huge challenges. Potassium diformate is a growth-promoting agent without antibiotics in a comprehensive solution without antibiotics, ushering in explosive growth. 

Growth-promoting medicinal feed additives withdrew from the stage of history, healthy breeding, no anti-feed additives, potassium diformate, is a feasible feed alternative solution for the specific requirements of different animals and different physiological stages, and promotes the smooth entry of the feed industry into "post-feed antibiotics" New Era.

1. Improve feed utilization

After adding potassium diformate to feed ingredients, it will become easier to digest. The reason is that potassium diformate is a mixture of organic formic acid and potassium formate, which can improve the palatability of feed, increase feed utilization rate, and act as an acidulant.

2. Improve the intestinal microenvironment

Biological feed contains various beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and spores. When animals eat, adding potassium diformate will make beneficial bacteria dominate, thereby inhibiting the number of harmful bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. In the process of metabolism, probiotics will produce antibacterial substances and organic acids, and other metabolites, which reduce the pH of the intestines, while changing the mucosal layer and the intestinal environment, creating an environment that is not conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria, thereby improving the animal’s intestinal microbe ecosystem.

3. Improve the immunity of animals

When potassium diformate reaches the gastrointestinal tract, it can be automatically decomposed into formic acid and formate. The non-dissociated formic acid passes through the cell wall of the bacteria to lower the pH in the cell, and the intracellular pH is close to 7. One generation of organic acids enters the cell, destroying the enzyme action in the cell and the nutrient delivery system, preventing microorganisms from reproducing, leading to death, and playing a fungicide and sterilization function. The formate anion decomposes bacterial cell wall proteins outside the cell wall to play a bactericidal and antibacterial effect.

4. Improve production performance

The addition of potassium diformate to feed can produce protease, lipase, cellulase and hemicellulase from beneficial microorganisms, which can promote the digestion and absorption of livestock and poultry, and significantly improve the utilization rate of feed. It has a special aroma and good palatability, which can obviously stimulate the appetite of livestock and poultry and increase feed intake.

5. Improve the quality of livestock and poultry products

With the development of industrialization of livestock and poultry breeding, the requirements for disease prevention have become stricter. There are more and more types of diseases, and market competition is getting fiercer. Potassium diformate increases the ratio of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines, inhibits the reproduction of harmful microorganisms, adjusts the physiological balance, and exerts biological antagonism, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the incidence of livestock and poultry, preventing and curing diseases, promoting growth, and improving feed returns.

6. Reduce ammonia and improve the environment

A large amount of breeding experience has proved that the foul smell and ammonia gas of the feces in the farms fed with bio-fermented feed are far lower than those in the sites where no fermented feed is used, and the feces outside the body are also under the regulation of microorganisms. The main components of potassium diformate, formic acid and potassium formate, are found naturally in nature or in the intestines of pigs, and finally (oxidized and metabolized in the liver) are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water, which can be completely biodegraded. It reduces the excretion of pathogenic bacteria and animal body nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby reducing malodor, improving the breeding environment, and reducing the incidence of respiratory diseases.

Potassium diformate is a new, efficient, safe, and residue-free non-antibiotic feed additive. It plays an important role in improving feed digestion and absorption, improving the growth performance of livestock and poultry, and improving the environment. It will also play a greater role in the replacement of antibiotics, and it is also in line with the development direction of our country's green feed industry.

Instead of a mixed bag of products in the antibiotic market, potassium diformate produced by Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group is regulated from production licenses and product standards to create safe, high-quality, non-resistant animal products, so as to solve the dilemma of the transformation and upgrading of the animal husbandry and feed industry.
