One of the biggest challenges in livestock production is to ensure optimal feed quality and prevent spoilage. Feed spoilage can reduce the nutritional value, palatability, and digestibility of feed, as well as increase the risk of contamination by harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter. These bacteria can cause diseases in animals and humans, affecting animal health, performance, and productivity. To prevent feed spoilage and bacterial growth, acidifiers are added to feed as preservatives. Acidifiers lower the pH of feed, creating an unfavorable environment for gram negative bacteria and enhancing the activity of beneficial microorganisms.

BEX Acid Control is a feed additive that contains short chain fatty acids that protect the quality of feed and prevent
the growth of Gram-negative bacteria. The composition is carefully selected based on years on research and practical
experience to allow a synergistic action of different short chain fatty acids. Therefore, BEX Acid Control offers the feed producers control over the spoilage risk and growth of gram negative bacteria and keep nutritional quality and palatability within acceptable parameters.

• • Short Chain Fatty Acids
  • Phytogens

SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS

Help to optimize the pH levels in the digestive system, creating an environment that promotes nutrient absorption and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. By maintaining a balanced pH, acidifiers enhance the efficiency of nutrient utilization, leading to improved feed conversion rates and overall animal growth.

SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS

Certain short chain fatty acids are known for their beneficial effects on feed acidification, feed intake and their pathogen inhibiting properties. Studies have shown that a synergistic effect is reached when a-monoglycerides are combined with short chain fatty acids, especially when aiming at clostridium reduction.

Dosage is species dependent

BEX Acid Control offers a strategic solution to maintain feed quality and protect livestock health. By effectively lowering pH levels and inhibiting Gram-negative bacteria, it prevents feed spoilage and reduces pathogen risks, creating a safer feeding environment. This acidifier’s unique blend of short-chain fatty acids and phytogenic compounds enhances digestive health, improves nutrient absorption, and supports overall performance.

With BEX Acid Control, feed producers can be confident in delivering high-quality, nutritious feed that helps optimize animal growth and productivity.
