Potassium Diformate - China

Introduction:

Potassium Diformate (KDF) is a chemical compound that consists of potassium salt and formic acid (with the formula K(HCOO)₂).

It is widely used in the animal feed industry and other agricultural applications due to its antimicrobial properties and other benefits.

Potassium Diformate Uses and Applications:

1 - Animal Feed Additive

Growth Promoter: Potassium diformate is primarily used as a non-antibiotic growth promoter in animal feed, particularly in pigs and poultry.

It helps enhance feed efficiency and promotes better weight gain in animals by improving digestion and nutrient absorption.

Antimicrobial Effect: It has strong antimicrobial properties, particularly against harmful bacteria such as E.

coli and Salmonella.

It works by lowering the pH in the gut and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, leading to improved gut health.

Alternative to Antibiotics: KDF is often used as a replacement for antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), especially in regions where the use of antibiotics in animal feed is restricted.

2 - Improves Digestive Health

By creating an acidic environment in the animal’s gut, potassium diformate helps suppress the growth of harmful bacteria while promoting beneficial lactic acid bacteria.

This improves the overall health of the digestive system.

3 - Reduced Environmental Impact

Less Nitrogen Excretion: Studies show that using potassium diformate in animal feed can reduce nitrogen emissions by improving protein utilization in animals, which results in lower nitrogen excretion into the environment.

Eco-Friendly: As a feed additive, KDF is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a sustainable choice in animal farming.

Advantages:

» Antibacterial Properties: Potassium diformate has been proven to reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in the digestive tracts of animals, leading to fewer infections and improved overall health.

» Improved Feed Efficiency: By enhancing nutrient absorption and promoting gut health, it improves the efficiency of feed utilization, allowing farmers to achieve better growth rates with less feed.

» Safe and Approved: KDF is considered safe for use in animal feed and is approved in many countries as an effective alternative to antibiotics.

» Reduces Diarrhea in Livestock: KDF can help lower the incidence of diarrhea in animals like piglets, which are susceptible to infections, by improving intestinal health.

» Reduced Antibiotic Resistance: By reducing the need for antibiotics, potassium diformate helps in combating the global issue of antibiotic resistance in livestock.
