These products are specifically designed to promote the growth performance of the livestock by using a synergistic and unique formula of organic acids besides the minerals.
Acidifiers are used for their usefulness in promoting a healthy gut by modulating the intestinal flora through their bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal effects on different types of bacteria.
Dietary acidifiers lower gastric pH, resulting in increased activity of proteolytic enzymes, improved protein digestibility and inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. It is also hypothesized that acidifiers could be related to the reduction of gastric emptying rate, the energy source in the intestine, chelation of minerals, stimulation of digestive enzymes and intermediate metabolism.
