Effect on the Fertilizer

1. Improve the digestibility and utilization of nutrients in animals. The main mechanisms for formic acid preparations to improve the digestibility and utilization of nutrients include activating pepsinogen, providing a suitable pH environment for pepsin, denaturing plant protein and starch, and improving the activity of endogenous enzymes.

2. Improve the intestinal flora of animals. Formic acid has a strong inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotics (AGP) lead to a decrease in the density of goblet cells in the jejunum and a decrease in the ratio of Thickwalled bacteria to Bacteroides, indicating that AGP may have a negative impact on intestinal immunity and flora homeostasis. Formic acid preparations can increase the ratio of Thickwalled bacteria to Bacteroides, which is beneficial for maintaining intestinal microbial homeostasis.

3. Promote the development of intestinal villi. Research has shown that formic acid organic acid preparations can promote intestinal development, thereby improving the utilization rate of nutrients.

The application value of formic acid in feed is reflected in: strong sterilization and bacteriostasis, maintaining intestinal homeostasis, and reducing diarrhea; Effectively provide H+in the stomach, promote nutrient digestion, and improve nutrient utilization; Clean feed, keep fresh and prevent mold; Reduce ammonia emission; Suppress and kill pathogenic bacteria in drinking water and pens, and strengthen biological prevention and control systems for livestock and poultry.
