Everyone knows that antibiotics are easy to use, but the main harm caused by abuse is the destruction of people and the ecology and environment. When your competitors are using a lot of antibiotics and relying on antibiotics to ensure production performance, you have got rid of antibiotics, what a big competitive advantage.

The application effect of antibiotics has two main points: 1. Antibacterial, health care, improve survival rate. 2. Promote growth, increase output and improve feed conversion efficiency. These are indicators closely related to economic benefits. Potassium diformate as a feed additive is very important to replace antibiotics to achieve these targets.

Introduction of potassium diformate as anti-feed additive

Since the 1950s, the abuse of antibiotics has caused drug-resistant strains in animals and caused drug residues. The use of antibiotic growth promoters has gradually been restricted or even banned. The European Union banned the use of antibiotic growth promoters in feed in January 2006. Potassium diformate is an ideal green feed additive to replace antibiotic growth-promoting agents due to its excellent antibacterial and growth-promoting properties and good safety. It is the first approved use of the EU to replace antibiotic growth-promoting agents. Feed additives. my country was also approved for pig feed additives in 2005.

Can potassium diformate replace antibiotic, antibacterial, health care, improve survival rate

Potassium diformate is a derivative of organic formic acid. Its antibacterial and growth-promoting mechanism is similar to that of formic acid. It is dissociated into potassium ions and formic acid in the animal's stomach, and enters the intestine with the movement of chyme. Since formic acid is medium-acid per unit weight of organic acid, it meets the requirements of feed additives.

Potassium diformate has a high unit potency. Due to its highly effective and slow-release acidification effect, it also has a strong antibacterial and bactericidal effect. Potassium diformate has better performance than ordinary compound acidifiers. It can reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella by lowering the pH of the gastrointestinal tract, regulating the microflora structure of the digestive tract. Inhibiting the reproduction of harmful bacteria is beneficial to the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, thereby increasing the rate of digestion and absorption of energy and nutrients by the animal body. Increase feed intake and improve feed efficiency. It reduces the maintenance intestinal consumption of the host, improves daily gain, and also reduces the production of microbial metabolites and toxins, reducing morbidity and mortality.

Potassium diformate promotes growth, increases yield, and improves feed conversion efficiency

Within the prescribed range of 0.6% to 1.8% addition, the only potassium formate residue that can be detected in animal products is formate, and its amount in fattening pig tissue will not be toxic. The corn-soybean-based diets were supplemented with 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8% potassium diformate. The potassium diformate group increased the daily gain of the average added group by 13%, daily feed intake by 9%, and feed conversion rate by 4%. Compared with the untreated group, adding 2% PD increased body weight by 22%. According to the maximum level of 1.8% registered by the European authorities, the weight gain can be increased to 14%, and the feed intake of the same dose of feed has increased significantly.

The reason why the feed industry and antibiotics are so closely linked is the abnormal market competition, which is entirely based on low prices to obtain customers. Can quality products come out like this? Certainly not. The ability to use potassium diformate to replace antibiotics is clear from the market to the point of conversion. Then consolidate the long-term management, and realize the easy counterattack of scientific breeding.
