Mixture of formic and propionic acid as additives in broiler feeds

Abstract: The presence of Salmonella species in feeds and ingredients is an important source of salmonella contamination for animals. Organic acid mixtures have shown to be an effective alternative to eliminate salmonellas in feeds and chickens. In the present study, the performance of male broiler chickens receiving levels (0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0 and 2.0%) of a mixture of organic acids (OAs) (70% formic acid and 30% propionic acid) in the diet was evaluated from the age one to 42 days, in a completely randomized experiment… Show more

“…Therefore, recent research has focused on the alternative strategies for the control of avian coccidiosis such as adding acids in the diet (Runho et al 1997, Thompson & Hinton 1997, Vale et al 2004. In the present study, acetic acid administered in drinking water has shown the anticoccidial effects against Eimeria tenella in terms of improved weight gains, better FCR, lower oocyst and lesion scores.…”

“…Authors did not find any published paper on the addition of propionic acid to LAPD. However, Vale et al (2004) reported that dietary propionic acid and formic acid supplementation with adequate P increased the chicken BWG. It is suggested that short-chain fatty acids increase the intestinal villi height which enhances the transfer of nutrients and improves the nutrients absorption (Senkoylu et al 2007).…”

“…El peso corporal y la ganancia de peso de las aves al final del estudio fue estadísticamente similar entre los tres tratamientos; resultados que coinciden con los de Vale et al (2004); no obstante, Gamarra (2003) obtuvo una mayor ganancia de peso en pollos de engorde con la adición de ácidos orgánicos en el alimento. Estas diferencias entre estudios pudieron deberse al tipo y dosis de ácido orgánico empleado.…”
