Domestic acidulants mainly play an acidifying role in improving the primary digestion of stomach contents, but have no bacteriostatic function, so it is understandable that acidulants are rarely used in pig farms. With the coming of limited resistance and no resistance, it should be said that poultry farming is the first to realize the necessity of acidification of drinking water, and gradually realize the benefits of acidification and sterilization of drinking water, which accelerates the use of acidifier in pig farm drinking water; At present, drinking water acidulants for pigs blindly seek to reduce the pH rapidly, and the pH is even lower than 3, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the activity of non-pestivirus. However, such a low pH will inevitably affect animal feeding. For example, the rapid and low pH value of phosphoric acid will stimulate and burn the oral cavity and digestive tract mucosa, and affect feeding. Even some products contain ingredients that will stimulate animals to affect feeding, even food safety.

Potassium diformate: safe, efficient, residue-free, non-antibiotic approved by EU, growth promoter

Acidifier is used in drinking water, and many farms evaluate it by measuring pH in laboratory. Because there are a lot of scale and biofilm in the water line, it is easy to breed harmful bacteria, and acid will be consumed in the water line. Therefore, we suggest that before adding acid, the waterline must be cleaned to thoroughly remove the scale and biofilm in the water pipe, and then add acid or other products, otherwise the breeding bacteria will also compromise the effect of drugs and other products put in water. As the water quality (pH value and hardness) of different farms are different, we suggest that the amount of acid added should be determined by measuring the pH of water at the end of waterline. Conditionally, the water before adding acidulant and the water after using acidulant for a period of time can be tested for colony number and compared with the data.

In pig feed application, it is relatively more mature. We suggest that it can also be used in mixture, and potassium diformate can be used in the nursery period to replace all acidulants, antibiotics, mildew inhibitors, water-retaining agents and some antioxidants. Of course, we also suggest that organic acids should be used together with other non-resistant products to achieve the effect that 1+1 is greater than 2. According to the actual situation, 3-5kg/T can be added to the feed during the growing and fattening period and sow feed. On poultry, we recommend using 1-3kg/T .. In the current test and application data, "potassium diformate" performs well, and can improve the production performance of animals without antibiotics. It can kill harmful bacteria, protect animal intestinal villi, improve the absorption of nutrition and enhance immunity, and finally improve production performance. It is suggested that potassium diformate should be used continuously during the breeding period, which is beneficial to non-resistant breeding and prevention and control of African swine fever virus.
