Is the non-antibiotic feed additive potassium diformate suitable for pig feed non-antibiotic programs?

 Faced with the new situation of "feed against antibiotics", it is believed that when feed companies and farmers formulate corresponding anti-antibiotic settings, they are all aimed at promoting intestinal health, rather than simply replacing antibiotics. Only in this way can we protect the health of the animal's intestinal tract more comprehensively, and promote the growth of feeds. Today, let's talk about whether the non-antibiotic feed additive potassium diformate is suitable for pig feed without resistance program?

Pig feed has no antibiotic solution

1. Detoxification is preferred

Eliminates intestinal bacterial toxins, endotoxins and pathogenic factors; eliminates feed mycotoxins; potassium diformate has inhibitory effects on Salmonella C19-2, C19-12-77 and pig-derived Escherichia coli El and Staphylococcus aureus. Lin Wenshuang’s experiments show that when the potassium diformate is added at 0.1-0.3%, the effective period of feed mildew can be maintained for about two months, and the feed storage period can be extended by 35 days. When the added amount is greater than or equal to 0.6%, the anti-mold effective period of potassium diformate can reach more than three months, and the feed storage period can be extended by 60 days.

2. Intestinal health

After adding 0.6% and 1.2% potassium diformate to the diet of weaned piglets, the number of E. coli in the duodenum, jejunum, colon and rectum decreased. Adding 0.6% potassium diformate can reduce the number of Salmonella in feed and fecal samples, and can reduce the prevalence of Salmonella and E. coli in pig farms. The addition of 1.8% potassium diformate to the diet of weaning piglets reduced the number of E. coli in the stomach by 19.57% and the number of E. coli in the small intestine by 5.26%. Studies have also found that adding 1.2% potassium diformate to piglet feed can increase the number of Lactobacillus in fecal samples and reduce the number of Salmonella. The inhibitory effect of potassium diformate on Escherichia coli is stronger than that of lactic acid bacteria, which is beneficial to the establishment of a healthy microflora of the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Growth performance

Potassium diformate can completely replace antibiotic feed additives at 1.2%, 0.8% and 0.6% in the diet. The effect of adding potassium diformate to different grains and different energy concentration feeds on the growth performance of weaned piglets. Adding potassium diformate can increase daily weight gain and feed intake by 14% and 9%, respectively. Adding potassium diformate to mixed diets of barley, wheat-barley, and wheat-corn can increase feed conversion efficiency by 6%, respectively. 4% and 7%.

Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group has been committed to producing safe, effective and safe products that can be used by farmers and feed factories. In combination with the country's anti-resistance policy, it has launched a new product, potassium diformate. It is the first non-antibiotic growth promoter approved by the European Union. It is easy to use, pollution-free, and has strong antibacterial properties. It will have a broad market prospect in the future and will also inject new power into the development of animal husbandry.
