The use of organic acids for profitable piglets post-weaning

摘要

Among feed additives, organic acids are the fastest-growing category on the market and acid blend products show the most promise. Acidification of swine diets is not new: organic acids have been used for more than 50 years to reduce the growth of bacteria and mould contamination of feed, thereby improving feed hygiene. The antimicrobial activity of organic acids and their salts not only helps in feed preservation, but also support animal health and improving performance.
