“…In another study, Sauer et al (2009) found a significant increase in P digestibility adding 1 and 2% benzoic acid to the diet of piglets: 45.8, 50.5 and 54.8% for 0, 1 and 2% benzoic acid in the diet. Bühler et al (2010) found no effect of 0.5% benzoic acid on P digestibility in the grower phase, but a positive effect in the finisher phase.…”

The effects of two dietary levels of benzoic acid on nitrogen, phosphorus and energy balance were evaluated in the typical Italian heavy pig during the last phase of growth. Six Landrace x Large White barrows of 125 kg body weight (BW) on average were used in a repeated 3¥3 Latin Square design and housed in metabolic cages to collect faeces and urine separately, in 3 collection periods of 7 days, after 14 days of adaptation. The animals were individually housed in open circuit respiration chambers to determine the energy metabolism. The dietary treatments were as follows [% on dry matter (DM)]: i) diet C (control): 14.2 crude protein (CP), 3.7 EE, 13.8 NDF; ii) diet B05: diet C plus 0.5% benzoic acid; iii) diet B10: diet C plus 1.0% benzoic acid. DM fed was fixed at 6.8% BW 0.75 . Apparent digestibility was similar among treatments for all the parameters studied. Nitrogen (N) retention was 35.8, 37.4, 41.6% of intake N for C, B05 and B10, respectively, with no significant difference. Energy and phosphorus balances were not influenced by dietary treatments. Ammonia nitrogen emission from the slurry, expressed as a proportion of the initial slurry nitrogen, was decreased (P=0.049) by the inclusion of benzoic acid in the diet: 35.2, 28.1, 26.2% for C, B05, B10, respectively. The addition of benzoic acid to the diet determined a numerically decrease of the urinary pH. In conclusion, the inclusion of benzoic acid in the diet of the heavy pig is beneficial to the environment without effects on N, phosphorus (P) and energy balances.

“…Therefore, BA has the ability to promote nutrient digestion and absorption in gut, which will lead to the increasing nutrient digestibility in diets. However, some studies also showed that supplementing BA in diets did not promote the nutrient digestibility [ 16 , 34 , 39 ]. Based on the difference among these results, we analyzed and compared the trial design of these researches.…”

As a kind of antibacterial and antifungal preservative, benzoic acid is widely used in foods and feeds. Recently, many studies showed that it could improve the growth and health, which should, at least partially, be derived from the promotion of gut functions, including digestion, absorption, and barrier. Based on the similarity of gut physiology between human and pigs, many relative studies in which piglets and porcine intestinal epithelial cells were used as the models have been done. And the results showed that using appropriate benzoic acid levels might improve gut functions via regulating enzyme activity, redox status, immunity, and microbiota, but excess administration would lead to the damage of gut health through redox status. However, the further mechanisms that some intestinal physiological functions might be regulated are not well understood. The present review will, in detail, summarize the effect of benzoic acid on gut functions.

“…The combined inclusion of organic acids and enzyme mainly focused on organic acids and phytase, including citric acid (Baruah et al, 2005(Baruah et al, , 2007Zhu, Ding, Chan, Chen, & Wang, 2015), acetic acid (Valencia & Chavez, 2002) and benzoic acid (Bühler, Bucher, & Wenk, 2010). But relatively fewer studies were conducted in organic acid and protease, only Ao, Cantor, Pescatore, Pierce, and Dawson (2010) reported that citric acid improved the ability of acidic protease to hydrolyse soybean meal.…”

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic acid salt blend (OAB), protease complex (Pr) and their combination (OAB+Pr) in fish meal‐free diets on growth, nutrient retention and digestibility of tilapia. Five diets were designed: a positive control (PC) diet containing 80 g/kg fish meal (FM), a negative control (NC) diet containing 0 g/kg FM and 104 g/kg meat and bone meal, and three other diets supplemented with OAB (922 mg/kg), Pr (175 mg/kg) and OAB+Pr (922 mg/kg + 175 mg/kg) to the NC diet. Tilapia with an initial body weight of 7.0 ± 0.2 g were fed the five diets for 9 weeks. The results showed that the growth performance, nutrient digestibility and retention of NC group had the lowest values among groups. Weight gain of fish fed the OAB and OAB+Pr diets was higher, and feed conversion ratio was lower (p < 0.05) compared to those fed the NC diet, while no differences with those fed the PC diet. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, minerals and protein retention was improved in fish fed the OAB+Pr diet (p < 0.05), but not in those fed OAB or Pr diet (p > 0.05). There were no differences in whole‐body composition and lipid retention among the treatments (p > 0.05). The supplementation of OAB and Pr alone or combined significantly increased the villi height but not the width when compared to the NC group. It can be concluded that dietary supplementation of OAB+Pr in a fish meal‐free diet improves growth and nutrient digestibility in tilapia compared to those fed the fish meal‐free diet.
