Animal Performance

Research has established that organic acids reduce dietary pH and buffer capacity. This complements suboptimal gastric HCl production which results in lower gastric pH, , enhances pepsin activation, and inhibits or delays bacterial growth such as E. Coli and Salmonella in the gastrointestinal tract. Organic acids also have an effect on microflora; they reduce the number of bacteria in different sections of the gastrointestinal tract and reduce bacterial attachment to gut wall. More nutrients are spared for the animal. Organic acids improve digestibility of nutrients, particularly that of protein and amino acids.. This may result in reduced microbial proteolysis, reduced microbial protein synthesis, and(or)  increased nutrient absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The apparent digestibility of fat and minerals are also improved. This will improve animal growth and feed efficiency Organic acids also reduce N and P excretion to the environment.

Our product range consists of highly concentrated acid-based products especially developed for pig, poultry, and ruminants in both solid and liquid form. By combining different acids the anti-microbial activity is optimized.
