Magi-Acid KDF Helps Your Farming Animals
The gastrointestinal health of pigs is vital, influenced by nutrient sources and levels that impact intestinal development, function, and the microecological environment. A well-designed nutritional program plays a crucial role in maintaining gastrointestinal health, enhancing nutrient digestibility, and bolstering overall disease resistance. MAGIacid KDF (Potassium diformate) emerges as a reliable option not only for antibiotic replacement but also for nutritional optimization.
Potassium Diformate is a specifically conjugated acid double-salt.Upon the decomposition of potassium diformate in the gastrointestinal tract, Formic acid (HCOOH) potassium ions (K+) are released.
Formic acid lowers the pH of the digestive tract, thereby reducing the number of various microorganisms in the digestive tract and improving the composition structure of the gut microbiota. At the same time, it affects the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids of microorganisms (e.g., intestinal bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella), thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.
The released potassium ions (K+) can improve lysine utilisation in the pig intestine.
Potassium diformate is a strong acidifier released slowly in the digestive tract with high buffering properties, which prevents excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Studies have shown that 85% of potassium diformate passes through the pig’s stomach and enters the duodenum in its intact form. The retrieving of formate is 83% in the duodenum, 38% in the anterior part of the jejunum, 17% in the middle part of the jejunum and 19% in the posterior jejunum.It demonstrated that potassium diformate has a specific retrieving rate at different points in the digestive tract, indicating that the slow-release characteristic can provide antimicrobial capacity throughout the pig’s whole digestive tract.
Therefore, the unique antimicrobial function of potassium diformate is based on the combined action of formic acid and formate.
Experiments and field applications have proven that the product is safe, highly efficient, non-toxic and residual-free for use in farming animals such as pigs, poultry, fish and shrimp.
Potassium diformate is an approved alternative to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the EU.
