Acidifiers

Acidifiers play an integral role in the optimization of poultry health and productivity. These compounds, typically organic or inorganic acids, are added to poultry feed or drinking water to maintain an acidic gut environment, which is conducive to nutrient absorption and inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The strategic use of acidifiers can improve feed efficiency, promote a balanced gut microflora, and enhance the immune response of poultry, thereby contributing to better overall flock performance.

One such product in the market is Kem-O-Cid, a well-known acidifier specifically formulated for the poultry industry. It is designed to create a favourable gut pH, ensuring that birds can achieve optimal growth and health. The inclusion of Kem-O-Cid in poultry diets has been associated with reduced instances of gastrointestinal diseases, which are often caused by bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli. By lowering the pH in the bird’s digestive tract, it makes the environment less hospitable for these pathogens, while also aiding in nutrient digestion and absorption. Utilizing acidifiers is an effective approach to enhancing poultry performance and maintaining animal welfare standards within the industry.
