Acidifiers: The “Invisible Guardians” That Enhance Aquaculture Efficiency
Release time:
2025-06-19
In livestock farms, are you often troubled by scenarios like these? Young animals frequently suffer from diarrhea, and their growth rate is as slow as a snail’s crawl; feed conversion efficiency is low, causing expensive nutrients to go to waste; and reliance on antibiotics seems inseparable, leaving food safety and export barriers deeply worrying. These pressing challenges are calling for an efficient, eco-friendly solution—livestock farming. Acidifier It has become an indispensable “invisible guardian” in modern scientific aquaculture.
The value of acidifiers goes far beyond simply lowering the pH of drinking water. At their core, they precisely reshape the microenvironment of animals’ digestive tracts, directly addressing the pain points in animal husbandry:
1. A “strong shield” for gut health: Young animals have insufficient gastric acid secretion, making their intestines a “breeding ground” for pathogenic bacteria. Organic acids (such as formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid) can penetrate the cell membranes of harmful bacteria, powerfully inhibiting the proliferation of pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella. This is akin to building an intelligent defense system for the gut, significantly reducing diarrhea and improving survival rates.
2. Digestive and Absorption “Booster”: An acidic environment is the key to activating pepsinogen. Acidifiers create an ideal digestive milieu, significantly enhancing the efficiency of breaking down nutrients such as proteins. At the same time, they soften feed ingredients and promote the dissolution and absorption of minerals. Practical experience has repeatedly demonstrated that the rational use of acidifiers can increase feed conversion rates by 8% to 15% and markedly accelerate growth rates.
3. The “safety valve” for replacing antibiotics and reducing zinc use: Faced with the industry-wide trend of banning antibiotics and restricting zinc, acidifiers offer a safe alternative pathway. With their remarkable antibacterial and growth-promoting effects, they help reduce the use of therapeutic antibiotics, lower the risk of antibiotic resistance and drug residues, ensure food safety, and enhance export competitiveness—making them a green pass for industrial upgrading.
In the global trend toward green and intensive livestock farming, acidifiers have become the mainstream solution in advanced regions such as the European Union. Danish pig farms, by systematically adopting acidifier technology, have not only significantly reduced their antibiotic use but also consistently maintained world-leading production performance. Many large-scale domestic livestock groups have already incorporated acidifiers into their standard nutritional programs, regarding them as a core technology for enhancing efficiency and improving product safety levels.
Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
Since 1998, focused on animal feed intake and health.
