As the saying goes, eating grains and cereals will inevitably lead to illness. Regardless of animals and plants, anything that has life will inevitably be sick. In the process of non-resistant breeding, breeders can use the widely used antibiotic substitute potassium diformate to improve feed nutrient digestibility, and kill or inhibit the microorganisms in the feed and harmful bacteria in the digestive tract to replace antibiotics to prevent and treat diseases.
China's "non-resistant breeding" at this stage is mainly aimed at the use of some antibacterial drugs or in certain cases (promoting growth) antibacterial drugs, encourage farmers to choose feed products without added drug and feed additives, and promote the scientific and rational use of antibiotics Alternative products for healthy farming.
Some research results show that at pH 3 and 4, potassium diformate can significantly inhibit the growth of E. coli and lactic acid bacteria, but at pH = 5, potassium diformate has no effect on lactic acid bacteria, and the survival rate of E. coli decreases. Potassium diformate has inhibitory effects on Salmonella C19-2, C19-12-77, E.coli El and Staphylococcus aureus.
When the potassium diformate is added in an amount of 0.1-0.3%, the effective period of the anti-mildew of the feed can be maintained for about two months, and the feed storage period can be extended by 35 days. When the added amount is greater than or equal to 0.6%, the anti-mold effective period of potassium diformate can reach more than three months, and the feed storage period can be extended by 60 days.
Take piglets as an example: potassium diformate can reduce gastric and duodenal pH, and adding 0.9% potassium diacid to the diet of weaned piglets can reduce gastric pH (5.27 to 4.92), but has no effect on colonic chyme pH. The addition of 0.6% or 1.2% potassium diformate to the diet of weaned piglets at 28 days of age reduced gastric pH (4.4 to 3.4), but had no effect on the pH of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum [103]. Addition of 0.9% and 1.8% potassium diformate to the piglet basic diet. After feeding 65 minutes, the addition of potassium diformate significantly decreased the duodenal pH, which decreased by 0.32 and 0.40 in the 0.9% and 1.8% groups, respectively [104]. Potassium diformate reduces gastric pH, can stimulate the secretion of pepsin, and improve the digestion and absorption of proteins.
Intestinal nourishment is to promote growth, intestinal bacteria are suppressed, pigs are less sick, and weight gain effects naturally come up. The use of potassium diformate also protects animal and human health, produces feed additives that are safe, nutritious, and free of antibiotic residues, and also achieves the purpose of non-resistant breeding.
