Purpose
Acidifying
A weaning period without diseases and health problems gives piglets a good start in life. This is essential for a fast and healthy growth later in the pig’s life. In the weaning period piglets have to adapt from digesting sows milk to digesting a solid diet, based on vegetable ingredients. This process starts a lot of changes in the digestive tract and takes a lot of energy from the piglets.
In the same way, a good start in the lifecycle of poultry, without diseases and health problems, is essential for a fast and healthy growth later on in the lifecycle of the animals.
Digestive enzyme production has to develop, the bacterial population in intestine changes and the size of the intestine is increasing rapidly. All this can result in a sub-optimal digestion that leaves a substantial part of the feed undigested. This undigested feed makes an excellent growth substrate for pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli. Daacid has a strong acidifying effect in the stomach. Because Daacid already reduces the buffer capacity of the feed, Daacid will maintain its acidifying abilities in the stomach. This way, Daacid will achieve a fast reduction of the pH value in the stomach, creating an optimal environment for digestion of proteins.
Acidifying is an absolute necessity for optimal pig management, but also for good poultry management acidifying has proven its worth.
