Intestinal health is the basis of feed replacement, potassium diformate has excellent replacement of antibiotics performance

 Poultry intestinal health is the foundation that cannot be ignored for the success of "feed replacement". Antibiotic-free feed should be devoted to the establishment of a livestock welfare and environmentally friendly breeding system. At the same time, adopt a non-antibiotic diet formula and develop a new type of antibacterial drug substitute nutrition strategy. The feed additive potassium diformate can improve the immunity and health of animals, thereby reducing the use of antibacterial drugs in animal breeding and their residues in animal products and the environment.

Potassium diformate is the simplest organic acid derivative. It does not have a structure similar to that of carcinogens and does not produce bacterial resistance. Toxicity experiments have shown that the acute toxicity of potassium diformate is very low, and its use in accordance with the instructions will not cause any toxic effects on consumers and operators.

Within the specified addition range of 0.6% to 1.8%, the only potassium diformate residue that can be detected in animal products is formate. Its amount in fattening pig tissues is not toxic. The residue in animal excrement is only formate, which will not pollute the environment. The ratio of formate concentration in edible tissues is very small, so it is safe for consumers of livestock and poultry products.

The formic acid released by the dissociation of potassium diformate in the intestinal tract can penetrate the bacterial cell membrane, lower the intracellular pH value, cause the activity of intracellular enzymes to decrease or be inhibited, and destroy the bacterial nutrients, eventually leading to bacterial exhaustion and death. On the other hand, the non-dissociated potassium diformate can freely diffuse into the bacterial cytoplasm, and dissociate in the cytosol that is close to neutral to release H⁺, which reduces the pH of the cell sap and affects the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

There are a lot of mixed potassium diformate on the market, and the melting water is turbid and has sediments with low content, and the amount of addition used is also large. Experts at home and abroad have found that the higher the potassium diformate content, the higher the potency, and the less added amount can reduce the cost of use. Chuandong Chemical Group's potassium diformate content is ≥98%, carrier-free and easy to dissolve water, and the melt water is clear and free of impurities, which is recognized by many companies.

Therefore, at present, potassium diformate is a widely used and effective alternative feed additive for inhibiting harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract of poultry and livestock. The small and medium molecular organic acids of potassium diformate have a synergistic effect. Potassium diformate can also improve the digestive tract environment of weaned piglets, protect intestinal health, reduce the diarrhea rate of weaned piglets, and lay a solid foundation for feed replacement.
