Use of acidifiers in poultry diet are very common practice now a days. Acidifiers are proven its importance as alternative antibiotic growth promotor( AGP) which may partially or fully replace AGP depending upon purpose. However, over the years designing of proper feed acidifier to get optimal result becoming an art.Therefore, use of proper combination of organic and inorganic acids along with value added ingredients like saponin which works as anti- ammonia compound could be perfect acidifier as a part of gut hygiene as well as feed hygiene.
The acidifiers could be used to favourably manipulate the intestinal microbial populations and improve the immune response, hence perform an activity similar to antibiotics in food animals in countering pathogenic bacteria.It has been observed increased feed intake, growth, carcass yield. Acetic acid and lactic acid enhance body weight in birds. Acidifiers also improve the digestibility of nutrients and increase the absorption of minerals. The utilization of acidifiers also promotes economic benefits of higher feed efficiency, improved daily gain leading to reduction in feed costs.
To overcome problem of antibiotic residue in poultry meat and to improve feed performance RXSOL launched unique combination of acidifier, mould inhibitor,and antifungal feed additive RXSOL Acidifier. It contains blend of organic acid, inorganic acids, saponin- allicin, Shatavari and Thymol. RXSOL Acidifier contains –
Fumaric Acid – Improves digestibility of nutrients, improved growth, immune response, anti-oxidantstatus, digestive enzyme, intestinal health.
Benzoic Acid – Lowering no of Pathogenic bacteria, campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria monocytogens and salmonella.
Formic Acid – It is added to limit /Prevent growth of salmonella sp. and food borne bacteria and GIT.
Lactic Acid – Positive influence on performance of broilers improving body weight and feed conversion ratio.
Malic Acid – Improves microbial safety regards to campylobacter.
Propionic Acid- is fungicide and bactericide -control fungi and bacteria stored in grains, poultry litter, drinking water for poultry.
RXSOL Acidifier helps maintaining beneficial microflora in digestive tract by antagonistic activity and competitive exclusion. RXSOL Acidifier produces several bactericidal substances that kill disease producing organism. It also makes gut acidic so useful bacteria like lactobacillus get attached to intestinal villi and prevent attachment of harmful bacteria e.g., E. coli and salmonella. RXSOL Acidifier used to favourable manipulate intestinal microbial population and immune response. It performs activity similar to antibiotic in countering pathogenic bacteria -along with blend of organic acid, inorganic acids, allicin, Shatavari, and saponin- Thymol. Their apparent actions include improved feed hygiene, lowering of gastric pH and inhibition of pathogens without affecting the beneficial bacteria, stimulation of pancreatic secretions and energy source during intermediary metabolism, enhanced nutrient digestibility, improved growth performance and immunity. Inclusion of citric acid in at the level resulted a better productive performance and higher profits in broiler chickens. Citric acid used in to promote growth by acidifying the gastrointestinal contents, improving nutrient digestibility, and reducing pathogen loads.
