Can the potassium diformate feed grade be fed to pigs? The manufacturer tells you

In the breeding process of pigs, broilers, and aquatic products, due to the high breeding density, many farmers are accustomed to adding various antibiotics to their feeds in order to reduce the incidence of infection and improve benefits. Now that the time for banning feeds is getting closer, the reason why the aquaculture industry abuses antibiotics should be related to the current high density of farming. The number of farms has increased, and the profits have naturally risen. In order to reduce and prevent the occurrence of diseases, it is also the origin of farmers competing to add potassium diformate instead of antibiotics in the feed. So, can potassium diformate feed grade be fed to pigs? The manufacturer tells you.


Let's take a look at the role of potassium diformate feed grade in animals:

1. Lower the pH in the intestine. Potassium diformate is relatively stable in acidic environments and easily decomposes formic acid in neutral or alkaline environments. Therefore, it is easy to decompose in the weak alkaline environment of pig intestine, and its product can significantly reduce the pH value of pig chyme in the duodenum, and it can also promote the activation of pepsin.

2. Regulates microorganisms in the intestine. Adding potassium diformate to the piglet diet can produce low levels of E. coli and Salmonella, and high levels and diversity of lactobacillus in the intestine of piglets. At the same time, studies have shown that Salmonella in the feces of piglets fed a diet supplemented with potassium diformate was also significantly reduced.

3. Improve digestion utilization. Adding potassium diformate to the diet can promote the secretion of pepsin, thereby promoting the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the diet by animals.


Looking at the role of potassium diformate feed grade in related pig performance:

1. Effect on pig performance. Studies have shown that potassium diformate was added to the diets of large pigs, breeders, and weaned pigs at 1.2%, 0.8%, and 0.6%, respectively. There was no significant difference in daily weight gain and feed utilization between pigs and the addition of compound antibiotics.

2. Effect on carcass quality. Adding potassium diformate to the diet of growing and finishing pigs can reduce the fat content of pork carcasses and increase the contents of thighs, lateral abdomen, and waist, neck and waist lean meat.

3. Effect on diarrhea in weaned piglets. Weaned piglets are prone to diarrhea two weeks after weaning due to lack of antibodies provided by sows and insufficient secretion of gastric acid. Potassium diformate has the effects of antibacterial, bactericidal, reducing harmful intestinal flora, and has a positive effect on preventing diarrhea in piglets. Experiments have shown that adding potassium diformate to the piglet diet can reduce the diarrhea rate by 30%.


As a result, potassium diformate feed grade can feed pigs, and it can also regulate the growth performance of pigs to increase weight. Good feed additives can regulate the intestine of pigs, and the effect of natural intestinal weight gain comes up. It is not enough to have a good breed of pigs if you want the pigs to grow fast and well. Potassium diformate can make the diet nutrition more uneven and easy to absorb, which can meet the rapid growth of pigs in the later stage.
