How to determine the reliability of the use of potassium diformate feed additive for pig? The factory tells you

 For feed enterprises and pig farmers, how to choose one or several alternative additives for the suspension of antibiotics, and how effective the problem is also a top priority. For the use of antibiotic feed additives, it is easy to test whether the application of potassium diformate feed additive is reliable.

Potassium diformate feed additive has been researched on the synthesis method under laboratory conditions since 2003 by the Feed Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Formic acid and potassium carbonate are selected as raw materials, and potassium diformate is prepared by a one-step method. According to the amount of potassium formate contained in the primary filtrate, the method of mother liquor circulation is adopted to make the reaction yield of potassium diformate reach over 90% and the product content reach over 97%. The technical parameters for the production of potassium diformate were determined; the analytical determination method for detecting the content of potassium diformate was established; and a small production test, product safety evaluation and animal effectiveness test were carried out.

At present, more potassium diformate feed additive produced by mixing formic acid and potassium formate has the characteristics of high content and good fluidity; oral acute toxicity test, inhalation acute toxicity test, subacute toxicity test results show that potassium diformate is A safe feed additive.

The test results of the effect of potassium diformate on the production performance of piglets show that: adding 1% potassium diformate to the diet can increase the daily gain by 8.09%, and the feed ratio is reduced by 9%; adding 1.5% potassium diformate to the diet It can increase the daily weight gain by 12.34% and the feed-to-meat ratio by 8.16%. Adding 1% to 1.5% potassium diformate in piglet feed can improve piglet production performance and feed efficiency.

The test results of another pig showed that potassium diformate products had no antagonism with antibiotics. Adding 1% potassium diformate products to the diet can partially replace antibiotics and promote growth. It has a certain synergistic effect with antibiotics in resisting diseases, and has a certain role in reducing diarrhea and mortality.

Ten days have passed since the feed ban was promulgated by the Ministry of Agriculture. It is not difficult to find that there are actually many products that can be replaced, Chinese medicine preparations, essential oils. However, various products are currently uneven, so it is really time-consuming and task-intensive to choose alternative products suitable for your own breeding. On the contrary, many companies and pig farmers who understand potassium diformate feed additive have already steadily been under a series of stresses caused by excessive bans, not to mention the hassle of going to the whole network to find antibiotic substitutes.
