Potassium Diformate in Animal Feed – Organic Acidifier for Gut Health and Growth Promotion

Potassium Diformate (KDF) is an advanced organic acid salt derived from formic acid and potassium. It is widely recognized as a safe, non-antibiotic feed additive used primarily in swine and poultry nutrition to support gut health, improve growth performance, and control pathogenic bacteria.

? Key Advantages:

1. Improves Gut Health
   KDF lowers the pH in the gastrointestinal tract, creating an unfavorable environment for pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Clostridium. This enhances gut flora balance and digestion.

2. Enhances Growth Performance
   By improving nutrient absorption and intestinal integrity, KDF promotes better feed conversion ratios (FCR) and average daily gain (ADG), especially in piglets and broilers.

3. Reduces Need for Antibiotics
   As a non-antibiotic growth promoter, Potassium Diformate offers an effective solution in antibiotic-free or reduced-antibiotic feed programs.

4. Stable and Easy to Handle
   It is non-corrosive, low-odor, and heat-stable, making it ideal for use in pelleted or extruded feeds.
