Potassium diformate is an organic acid salt that can effectively inhibit pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and is often used as an antibiotic substitute. Potassium diformate is formed by formic acid molecules and potassium formate molecules, and decomposes into carbon dioxide and water in the animal body without residue.

the advantages of potassium diformate

1. Growth-promoting effect similar to antibiotics

potassium diformate 3

The reason why potassium diformate has an antibiotic growth-promoting effect is that it has a strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. The unique antimicrobial function of potassium diformate is based on the combined effect of formic acid and formate. 85% of potassium diformate is ingested in a complete form and passes through the acidic stomach to reach the neutral and alkaline posterior intestinal tract, which is automatically decomposed into formic acid and formate. The formate anion decomposes the bacterial cell wall protein outside the cell wall, exerting a bactericidal and antibacterial effect. The released potassium ions can also improve the utilization rate of lysine.


2. Acidification is better than ordinary acidifiers

 

Potassium diformate is highly acidic and is slowly released in the digestive tract. It has a high buffering capacity and can avoid excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the animal's gastrointestinal tract.

 

3. Anti-mold and antibacterial effect

The formic acid in potassium diformate is the organic acid with the smallest molecular weight. The acidity of monocarbonic acid is the strongest per unit weight of organic acid, and it has a strong antimicrobial effect. Non-dissociated formic acid can pass through the bacterial cell wall and dissociate in the cell to reduce the pH value. Formate anions decompose bacterial cell wall proteins outside the cell wall, playing a role in sterilization and inhibition of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.

 

4.Potassium diformate is also a good mildew preventer that can effectively inhibit feed mildew, maintain feed freshness and extend feed shelf life.

Potassium diformate is suitable for a variety of animals,such as:

What are the functions of potassium diformate in animal husbandry?

 

1.Pigs:
(1)Increase feed intake and daily weight gain, and reduce feed-to-meat ratio.
(2) Partially replace acidifiers and antibiotics to reduce diarrhea.

 

2.Poultry:
(1)Broilers can increase weight and slaughter rate, reduce feed-to-meat ratio, and improve immunity.
(2) It can reduce necrotic enteritis in broilers.

 

3.Aquaculture:
(1)Increase daily weight gain, growth rate, and survival rate of shrimp, and reduce feed conversion rate.
(2)Increase the growth rate of sea cucumbers, and reduce the infection and incidence of Vibrio infection in sea cucumbers.
(3)Increase the growth rate and feed conversion rate of tilapia.

As a feed additive, potassium diformate can promote the absorption of nutrients, increase animal growth rate, regulate intestinal flora, inhibit the incidence of harmful bacteria and enteritis, and reduce mortality.
