The delayed feed grade potassium diformate finally ushered in a big turnaround

 Seeing the "antibiotics" can scare away some people. Too many bad food safety experiences are enough to produce a stress response to stay away. Potassium diformate is a nutrient that is highly helpful in meeting the requirements of livestock and poultry, and is healthier and safer to promote the growth of livestock and poultry. The feed grade potassium diformate, which was delayed after the feed ban, finally turned over. 

Potassium diformate was approved by the European Union as a feed additive as early as 2001. It is the first non-antibiotic feed additive approved by the European Union to replace antibiotic growth promoters.

With the increase of people's awareness of health care, the concept of pursuing the safety, quality, residue-free and disease-free of food such as meat and eggs has been generally accepted by people. The subsequent hygiene and safety of livestock products have also attracted much attention.

Potassium diformate has a strong bactericidal and antibacterial effect, keeping pigs healthy. Through practice and relevant domestic research institutions have proved that the feed additive potassium diformate has similar antibiotic effects in preventing disease and promoting growth.

The reason why potassium diformate has the growth-promoting effect of antibiotics is that it actually has a strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Its unique anti-microbial function is based on the comprehensive action of formic acid and formate. It is ingested in the form of complete potassium diformate and passed through the acidic stomach to reach the neutral and alkaline back intestine. That is, it is automatically decomposed into formic acid and formate, and the non-dissociated formic acid passes through the cell wall of bacteria. In the cell, the PH drops and the cell PH is close to 7, organic acid enters the cell one generation, destroys the enzyme action in the cell and the nutrient delivery system, so that the microorganisms cannot reproduce, cause death, and play a bacteriostatic and sterilization function. The formate anion decomposes bacterial cell wall proteins outside the cell wall to play a bactericidal and antibacterial effect.

Moreover, potassium diformate can increase the feed conversion rate, increase the activity of digestive enzymes in the stomach, and promote the digestion and absorption of protein, energy, and various trace components by animals. It can also reduce the excretion of pathogenic bacteria and purify the animal's growth environment. Studies have proved that it also has a significant effect on feed anti-mold.

Therefore, potassium diformate, as the first growth promoter approved by the European Union to replace antibiotics, has the advantages of no pollution, strong antibacterial properties, obvious growth-promoting effects, and convenient use. It is an important guarantee for the rapid, healthy and first development of animal husbandry, and it is also an important resource for the development of animal husbandry today and in the future.
