What are the advantages of potassium dicarboxylate over other feed additives?
Mar 31,2025
Compared with other feed additives, potassium dicarboxylate has the following advantages:
Good effect of growth promotion: After potassium dicarboxylate enters into the gastrointestinal tract of animals, it will slowly release formic acid, lower the pH value of the gastrointestinal tract, so as to improve the microbial system of the gastrointestinal tract, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, etc., and promote the reproduction of beneficial bacteria such as lactobacilli. The optimization of microbial system helps to improve the digestive and absorption ability of the feed, and then promote the growth of the animal, improve the feed conversion rate, and its growth promotion effect is more significant.
High safety: Potassium dicarboxylate is a relatively safe feed additive. It is a kind of small molecule organic acid salt, which can be metabolized to carbon dioxide and water in the animal body, with no residue, and has no adverse effect on animal health and quality and safety of livestock products. At the same time, its toxicity is low, and the safety of animals and operators during the use is high.
Unique antimicrobial effect: Unlike some antibiotic feed additives, potassium dicarboxylate exerts its antimicrobial effect by lowering the pH value of the gastrointestinal tract, which has a unique mechanism of action and is not easy to induce bacterial resistance. This is of great significance to the current problem of antibiotic resistance and helps to reduce the use of antibiotics, which is in line with the development trend of green farming.
Improvement of meat quality: Potassium dicarboxylate can regulate the microbiota and metabolic processes in the intestinal tract of animals, affecting fat metabolism and meat quality indicators. Research shows that the use of potassium dicarboxylate as feed additives can make the meat of animals more tender, increase muscle fat content, improve meat color and hydraulics and other meat quality indicators, and improve the quality of livestock products.
Good stability: Potassium dicarboxylate has good chemical stability, and is not easy to be decomposed or invalidated by high temperature, humidity and other factors in the process of feed processing and storage. It can be used in conjunction with a variety of feed ingredients and other additives without chemical reaction, which can ensure the effectiveness of feed additives and the stability of feed quality.
