Acidifier

Due to the increase in the efficiency of poultry breeding and the limitations in the use of antibiotics, many compounds have been introduced as alternatives to these drugs. One of the most suitable compounds are acidifiers, which, while controlling pollution in the grain, prevent diseases, especially gastrointestinal infections, and increase digestibility. Organic acids, including formic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid, have direct antimicrobial effects and reduce the pH of the digestive system, causing changes in the beneficial microbial population, improving the intestinal morphology, and finally increasing the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
