Can potassium diformate promote the development of modern pig industry?
Judging from the current situation, the regulation of live pig prices has not met expectations, and more of a signal to regulate pork prices, but the actual action is not big. With the recent increase in pig feed, the loss of pig farmers has shown an expanding trend. Feed additives are also undergoing the test of the market. Can potassium diformate promote the development of modern pig industry?
As the price of pork has reduced price pressures, coupled with a relatively sustained and slow decline, it is not particularly noticeable compared to last year. To raise pigs, it is necessary to keep pigs with balanced nutrition and good immunity. The process from improving the intestinal environment to digestion and absorption is from the inside out.
The application of potassium diformate in pig production can improve pig production performance, carcass quality and prevent piglet diarrhea.
Potassium ions in animals are constantly exchanged between cells and body fluids to maintain dynamic balance. Potassium is the main cation that maintains the physiological activities of cells, and plays an important role in maintaining the body's normal osmotic pressure and acid-base balance, participating in sugar and protein metabolism, and ensuring normal neuromuscular function.
The mechanism of action of potassium diformate is based on the small molecule organic acid formic acid and potassium ions. This is also the basic consideration for the EU's approval of potassium diformate as a substitute for antibiotics.
Potassium diformate reduces the content of amine and ammonium in the intestinal tract, reduces the utilization of protein, sugar, starch, etc. by intestinal microorganisms, saves nutrition and reduces costs, can promote the digestion and absorption of protein and energy by animals, and can also improve the nitrogen and phosphorus of animals The digestion and absorption of various trace components can significantly increase the daily gain and feed conversion rate of pigs.
The increase in the cost of raising pigs can generally only be borne by farmers, which is not conducive to the development of the industry in the long run. Farmers not only reduce the number of pens supplements to reduce the losses caused by pigs, but also should use non-antibiotic growth promoters such as potassium diformate to promote the development of modern pig industry and obtain a better market situation.
