Potassium diformate can maintain the intestinal acid-base balance and the integrity of the intestinal mucosa of chickens

 Recently, the temperature difference between day and night has gradually increased. For chickens with relatively low disease resistance, they are prone to fall diarrhea due to "cold stress". This is also a common disease in chicken coops. So can potassium diformate promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines of chickens, maintain the intestinal acid-base balance and the integrity of the intestinal mucosa?

What are the causes of autumn diarrhea caused by chickens?

1. Poor digestion and absorption capacity of first laying hens

In the early stages of laying hens, they need to absorb a lot of nutrients. Too much protein and crude fiber in the feed are difficult to digest and absorb, which stimulates the intestinal tract to accelerate metabolism, accelerates intestinal peristalsis, and causes diarrhea in laying hens.

2. Feed protein is too high

In order to increase the egg production rate during the laying period, the chicken farm will add a lot of protein to the feed, but the uneven ratio of protein to energy will cause the body to absorb incompletely and stimulate the intestinal tract, causing the feces to become whitish and easy to paste the anus.

3. Abuse of antibiotics

At present, the country has banned the use of antibiotics in breeding. The use of non-antibiotic growth promoters such as potassium diformate can not only reduce the occurrence of diarrhea, but also regulate the intestinal tract.

4. Environmental factors

In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature in the chicken house is not well controlled. Once the temperature drops, the chickens are prone to diarrhea.

5. Improper use of new corn

Autumn is the season for harvesting corn. Some farmers think that new corn is cheap and use new corn. They think that new corn is just more watery and just put it properly.

Potassium diformate is a feed additive that can replace antibiotics. Containing small molecule formic acid can regulate the intestines of chickens. Small molecule organic acids (such as formic acid) combine with potassium ions to solve the problem of sterilization and enhance the ability to resist stress. And it is completely biodegradable, without any form of coating, can directly reach the small intestine to sterilize and inhibit bacteria, and finally metabolize into carbon dioxide and water. No pollution to the environment, no harm to living things. Therefore, potassium diformate can supplement probiotics, promote the colonization of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, and maintain the intestinal acid-base balance and the integrity of the intestinal mucosa.

Prevention is more important than cure. The prevention of autumn diarrhea in laying hens should pay attention to strengthening feeding management, disinfection and cleaning. Improve the sanitary conditions of poultry houses and do a good job of immunization against various viral diseases to prevent stress. Green, safe, non-resistant, and effective potassium diformate can also prevent chickens from gastrointestinal diseases.
