Why are acidifiers needed in aquaculture?
Release time:
2025-09-12
In traditional livestock farming, antibiotics have long played a crucial role in preventing diseases and promoting growth. However, the problems they have caused—such as antibiotic resistance and drug residues—are becoming increasingly prominent. Young animals like piglets and young poultry have immature digestive systems and insufficient gastric acid secretion, making it difficult for them to effectively eliminate harmful bacteria from their feed. This often leads to diarrhea and stunted growth, directly increasing farming costs and risks.
In traditional livestock farming, antibiotics have long played a crucial role in preventing diseases and promoting growth. However, the problems they have caused—such as antibiotic resistance and drug residues—are becoming increasingly prominent. Young animals like piglets and young poultry have immature digestive systems and insufficient gastric acid secretion, making it difficult for them to effectively eliminate harmful bacteria from their feed. This often leads to diarrhea and stunted growth, directly driving up farming costs and risks.
Feed acidifiers It was created precisely to address this challenge with pinpoint accuracy. By scientifically lowering the pH value in the gastrointestinal tract and mimicking the natural gastric acid environment, it establishes the animal’s first line of defense against health threats.
Multiple benefits highlight the power of science.
1. Powerful alternative to antibiotics, ensuring worry-free health.
Organic acids and their salts can effectively penetrate bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting or even killing common pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, significantly reducing the incidence of diarrhea in livestock and poultry, decreasing antibiotic usage, and ensuring the safety of animal-derived foods.
2. Activate digestion and enhance absorption
Optimizes the acidic environment of the gastrointestinal tract, activates pepsinogen, and enhances protein digestibility. At the same time, it promotes the dissolution and absorption of minerals (such as calcium and phosphorus) and trace elements, unlocking the full potential of feed and improving feed conversion efficiency.
3. Nourish the gut and boost immunity
A stable acidic environment promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacterial populations such as lactic acid bacteria, inhibits harmful bacteria, and maintains the balance of the gut microbiota. A healthy gut is the cornerstone of immune function, effectively enhancing animals' disease resistance and reducing the incidence of illness.
4. Antioxidant and mold-resistant—safeguarding feed quality
Acidifiers can effectively inhibit the growth of molds in feed, delay oxidative spoilage, extend the shelf life of feed, and prevent waste and economic losses caused by feed deterioration.
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.
