Antibiotics are harmful to growth and can be replaced by feed additive potassium diformate

Although antibiotics have promoted the rapid development of aquaculture production since they were used in aquaculture, the long-term use of antibiotics will often lead to the production of drug-resistant strains in animals and lead to drug residues. Therefore, the use of antibiotic growth promoters is gradually restricted or even banned, and potassium diformate is the first feed additive approved by the European Union to replace antibiotic growth promoters.

At present, the common additive products on the market, such as enzyme preparation and acidifier, are mainly used to improve the digestion ability of animals to nutrients. Probiotics and acid preparations are mainly used to regulate the structure of intestinal microflora and improve the immune function of the body.

Potassium diformate has become an ideal green feed additive instead of antibiotic growth promoting agent because of its excellent antibacterial and growth promoting properties and good safety. The specific functions are as follows:

1. Potassium diformate is used as feed preservative, mildew inhibitor, regulator and growth promoter; it is an organic acid salt, with complete biodegradability, no toxicity to livestock and poultry, no residue in the body, and can effectively inhibit gastrointestinal pathogenic bacteria; acidifier, reduce intestinal pH value.

2. The significant growth promoting effects are as follows: strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects: similar to antibiotics in disease prevention and growth promoting.

3. Potassium diformate feed additive can also improve feed conversion efficiency: improve the activity of digestive enzymes in the stomach, promote the digestion and absorption of protein, energy and various trace components of animals.

4. The addition of potassium diformate can also purify the environment: reduce the discharge of pathogenic bacteria and purify the growth environment of animals.

5. Potassium diformate can inhibit feed mildew: it can effectively inhibit the mold in feed, ensure feed quality, and extend the shelf life of feed.

6. Potassium diformate has strong acidification effect of organic acid: it can reduce the pH of gastrointestinal tract and improve the internal environment of animal digestive tract. Because of its special slow-release effect, the acidification effect is better than the common compound acidifier.

In recent years, China's laws and regulations in this field have become more and more strict. With the promulgation and implementation of these laws and regulations, no matter feed enterprises or farms, their attitudes or measures to "disease" need to change from "treatment" to "prevention". Feed additive potassium diformate is a new additive that can replace feed antibiotics or can adjust intestinal microorganisms and promote the absorption of nutrients.
