As the saying goes, in order to promote and guide the "antibiotic free" breeding of livestock and poultry, and vigorously promote the practical "antibiotic free" breeding technology mode, how to avoid the occurrence and prevention of diseases in the breeding process of poultry and livestock, and what additives can be used instead of antibiotics? All of these are very important. Therefore, feed additive potassium diformate, the feed additive, can replace the use of antibiotics and play an important role in the development of animal husbandry.

In July 2001, the European Union approved potassium diformate as the first substitute of antibiotic growth promoting agent for pig feed. In April 2003, the European Union passed another directive regulation, approving the maximum safe addition of potassium diformate for piglets and growing pigs to 1.8% - 1.2%. In July 2005, the European Union issued a supplementary Commission regulation in time, approving the use of potassium diformate as a growth promoting agent in sow feed.

Now in China, it is necessary to do a good job in "antibiotic free" breeding. The advantages of feed additive potassium diformate in pig production are as follows:

1. It has a strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect to keep pigs healthy.

2. Strong acidity, excellent slow release effect.

3. Slow release mold inhibitor can prolong the preservation time of feed.

In fact, the reason why feed additive potassium diformate can promote the growth of antibiotics is that it has a strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract, and its unique anti microbial function is based on the comprehensive effect of formic acid and formate. The complete form of potassium diformate is ingested through the acid stomach to the neutral and slightly alkaline back-end intestinal tract, that is, it is automatically decomposed into formic acid and formate, not The dissociated formic acid passes through the cell wall of bacteria, which makes pH drop and pH close to 7 in the cell. The first generation of organic acid enters the cell, which destroys the enzyme function and nutrient delivery system in the cell, so that the microorganism cannot reproduce, leading to death, and plays the role of bacteriostasis and sterilization; the formic acid anion dissociation decomposes the bacterial cell wall protein outside the cell wall, and plays the role of sterilization and bacteriostasis.

Feed additive potassium diformate in "antibiotic free" culture technology has the characteristics of high production efficiency, high safety performance, high meat quality, low production cost, small environmental pollution and good application prospect.
