The price of pork is rising. Is the price of potassium diformate which has good effect on pig raising?

 As we all know, affected by the epidemic, consumer prices across the country have risen year-on-year, and the increase in pork on the table has also reached a record high. Since the implementation of the “ban on resistance” in breeding, the animal husbandry industry is making adjustments and changes for the prohibition, reduction and replacement of resistance. The feed additive potassium diformate is also playing an important role in improving the quality and safety of animal husbandry products, increasing the supply of green and high-quality animal husbandry products, reducing breeding production costs, and realizing the sustainable development of animal husbandry. Now that the price of pork is rising, what about the price of potassium diformate?

It's often said that you get what you pay for. Let's take a look at the role of potassium diformate in pig production:

1. The effect on pig performance. Studies have shown that adding 1.2%, 0.8%, and 0.6% potassium diformate to the diets of large pigs, breeding pigs and weaned pigs, respectively, has no significant difference in pigs’ daily gain and feed efficiency compared with the addition of compound antibiotics.

2. The effect on carcass quality. Adding potassium diformate to the diet of growing-finishing pigs can reduce the fat content of the pork carcass and increase the lean meat content of the thighs, side abdomen, waist, neck and waist.

3. Effect on diarrhea of weaned piglets. Weaned piglets are prone to diarrhea two weeks after weaning because they lack the antibodies provided by the sow, and their own gastric acid secretion is insufficient. Potassium diformate has the effects of antibacterial, sterilization and reducing harmful intestinal flora, and has a positive effect on preventing piglet diarrhea. Experiments have shown that adding potassium diformate to piglet diets can reduce the rate of diarrhea by 30%.

The National Bureau of Statistics previously stated that the slight increase in pork prices was due to factors such as the slowdown in slaughter of pigs, stricter requirements for epidemic prevention deployment, and reduced imports. Potassium diformate has more obvious advantages in improving the intestinal morphology and promoting the growth performance of livestock and poultry, and it has been verified by many domestic feed companies to realize resistance-free breeding. Moreover, the development and research of potassium diformate in various countries are relatively mature, so the price of potassium diformate in the market is relatively stable.

The potassium diformate produced by Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group is a mixture of patented formic acid and potassium formate, with a content of ≥98% that can meet the growth needs of pigs at all stages.
