The health of pig gastrointestinal tract directly affects the growth performance and feed conversion rate. Gastrointestinal mucosal function is one of the main factors affecting gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal mucosal dysfunction can cause macromolecular antigens in food to be absorbed by the body and trigger various gastrointestinal diseases, and potassium diformate feed additive is precisely on the contrary, it contains small molecules of formic acid, formate and potassium, which can effectively restore the permeability of swine gastrointestinal mucosa.

How to maintain the gastrointestinal health of pigs

1. Choose high-quality feed and additives for pigs

If you want to raise pigs and get good economic benefits, you must first change your ideology and concepts and make good articles in raising characters. Pig feed should be nutritious at full price and scientifically matched. Use low-nitrogen diets and amino acid balanced diets as much as possible to ensure that there are sufficient protein, amino acids, trace elements and various necessary vitamins to ensure the nutrition of pigs at different stages of growth need.

The choice of feed additives is better than potassium diformate feed additive. It is based on the role of small molecule organic acid formic acid and potassium ions. The unique antimicrobial function is based on the combined effect of formic acid and formate. Adding potassium diformate to the diet can promote the secretion of pepsin and act as an acidulant to promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the diet by the animals.

2. It is strictly forbidden to feed moldy and spoiled feed

Feeding moldy and spoiled feed can easily lead to poisoning of various toxins, damage the function of the intestinal mucosal immune system, destroy the function of the gastrointestinal tract, cause diarrhea, gastroenteritis, and severely cause pig death.

Only by feeding safe, green, nutritious and environmentally friendly feeds and additives can the health and production performance of pigs be guaranteed. Potassium diformate has a good anti-mold effect, and its anti-mold performance is better than that of commonly used feed anti-fungal agent sodium diacetate. It can replace the commonly used feed anti-fungal agent at the same time as it replaces the antibiotic growth promoter. The test results show that when the added amount is 0.1wt% and 0.3wt%, the effective period of anti-mildew can be maintained for about two months, extending the storage period of feed for 35 days. When the added amount is 0.6wt% or more, the effective period of anti-mildew can reach more than three months, and extend the storage period of feed for more than 60 days.

3. Add additives that can effectively inhibit bacteria in the feed

Modern pig raising is large-scale, the feeding density is too large, the growth rate is too fast, the pig herd is often under a high degree of stress, which leads to the imbalance of intestinal flora, causing excessive reproduction of harmful microorganisms and inhibiting the growth of beneficial microorganisms. It brings many problems such as growth and development, production performance and the occurrence of diseases.

Potassium diformate feed additive has an inhibitory effect on Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. After adding 0.6% and 1.2% potassium diformate to the diet of weaned piglets, the large intestine of duodenum, jejunum, colon and rectum The number of bacilli is reduced. Adding 0.6% potassium diformate can reduce the number of Salmonella in feed and fecal samples, and can reduce the prevalence of Salmonella and E. coli in pig farms. Adding 1.8% potassium diformate to the diet of weaned piglets reduced the number of E. coli in the stomach by 19.57% and the number of E. coli in the small intestine by 5.26%. And can reduce the discharge of various harmful gases, improve the breeding ecological environment and maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract.

Maintaining the balance of pig gastrointestinal flora and enhancing non-specific immunity is to increase the utilization rate of feed and absorption of nutrients by pigs. Potassium diformate feed additive can inhibit the reproduction of harmful intestinal microorganisms and is a non-antibiotic growth promoter that allows pigs gastrointestinal rapid growth.
