Due to the poor immunity of pigs, the problem of adding antibiotics to feeds in pig farming was common in the past. Now, the feed prohibition has officially begun, and its impact on the breeding industry is inevitable. From the perspective of food safety, it is definitely beneficial, but from the perspective of breeding, it may increase the difficulty of enterprise breeding. So now many non-resistant feeds are already using potassium diformate. Let's take a look at what changes it can bring to the feed industry today?

Now that anti-feedants have appeared one after another, there must be a certain gap in the effect. Then, the advantages of potassium diformate in pig production:

1. Extremely strong bactericidal and antibacterial effect, keeping pigs healthy

It is generally believed that the improvement of production performance after adding antibiotics to feed is related to the suppression of subclinical infections. Therefore, the reason why potassium diformate has the growth-promoting effect of antibiotics is actually its strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Its unique antimicrobial function is based on the combined effects of formic acid and formate. Ingested in the form of complete potassium diformate and passed through the acidic stomach to the neutral and alkaline back intestine. That is, it is automatically decomposed into formic acid and formate. The non-dissociated formic acid passes through the cell wall of the bacteria to reduce the pH in the cell, and the intracellular pH is close to 7. It prevents microorganisms from reproducing, leading to death, and has antibacterial and sterilization functions. The formate anion decomposes bacterial cell wall proteins outside the cell wall to play a bactericidal and antibacterial effect.

2. Strong acidity, excellent slow release effect

The development and research of potassium diformate in various countries have found that potassium diformate is not only highly acidic, but also slowly released in the digestive tract, has a high buffering capacity, and can avoid excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the animal's gastrointestinal tract. As the first non-antibiotic growth promoter approved by the European Union to replace antibiotic growth promoters, potassium diformate has the advantages of no pollution, strong antibacterial properties, obvious growth-promoting effects, and convenient use. It is the rapid, healthy and first development of the animal husbandry industry. Important guarantee.

3. Slow-release antifungal agents can better extend the storage time of feed

Mold infection in feed causes feed mildew, which not only consumes nutrients in feed, reduces feed quality and feed remuneration, but also causes diarrhea, enteritis, and breeding problems after being eaten by livestock and poultry, even causing death, etc. Animal production. Therefore, antifungal agents and mycotoxin adsorbents have become the focus of animal husbandry research.

In general, the impact of the veterinary drug industry after the feed ban is greater than that of the feed industry. "Green breeding" has become a necessary way for the development of my country's aquaculture industry. The "exit" of antibiotics and potassium diformate, which can replace antibiotics as a growth promoter, will undoubtedly bring about certain changes to the domestic aquaculture industry chain.
