The Prophylactic Use of Acidifiers as Antibacterial Agents in Swine

Effect of dietary formic acid on the in vitro ruminal fermentation parameters of barley-based concentrated mix feed of beef cattle

“…Formic acid which is used as a safe feed additive with E236 code, have preservative, antibacterial, antifungal, strong odour-flavour properties and inhibitory effects on biogenic amines in digestive tract. In the Europe Union Feed Additives List, it has been advised that formic acid can add up to 10 g/kg in livestock animal rations (Papatsiros & Billinis 2012;EFSA 2014). This volatile organic acid is used as a silage additive for stimulating the lactic acid fermentation and inhibiting the butyric acid production (Baytok et al 2005) and the conversion of feed protein to non-protein-nitrogen (Jaakkola 2006).…”

A feed additive containing Bacillus toyonensis (Toyocerin® ) protects against enteric pathogens in postweaning piglets

“…; Papatsiros et al . , ,b; Papatsiros and Bilinis ). Probiotics have been defined as ‘a preparation or a product containing viable, defined micro‐organisms in sufficient number, which alter the microbiota (by implantation or colonisation) in a compartment of the host, and by that exert beneficial health effects on the host’ (Schrezenmeir and de Vrese ).…”

Dietary Encapsulated Butyric Acid (Butipearl™) and Microemulsified Carotenoids (Quantum GLO™ Y) on the Growth, Immune Parameters and their Synergistic Effect on Pigmentation of Hybrid Catfish (Clarias macrocephalus × Clarias gariepinus)

“…Organic acids are mainly used as feed additives for improving growth performance of pigs and poultry [15][16][17]. There are also reports on the benefit of organic acids in aquatic animals, including red hybrid tilapia [18], yellowtail [19] and Pacific white shrimp [20].…”
