Application of L-Malic Acid in the Feed Industry
- Times：2024/9/28
- 1. Anti corrosion effect: Malic acid has a certain ability to inhibit bacterial proliferation. Adding an appropriate amount of malic acid to feed can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the feed, thereby extending the shelf life of the feed and reducing the problem of feed spoilage caused by bacterial reproduction. This is of great significance for quality control in the production and storage process of feed.
2. Acidification: Malic acid, as an organic acid, can react with alkaline substances in feed, thereby reducing the pH value of the feed. This acidification process helps to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms in the feed, while also improving the palatability of the feed and increasing the appetite of animals.
3. Promote digestion and absorption: The addition of malic acid to feed can increase the acidity of the feed and promote the secretion of animal gastric juice. This helps to accelerate the digestion speed of feed and improve the utilization rate of feed. In addition, malic acid can also combine with nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus in feed to form chelates that are easily absorbed by animals, thereby further enhancing the nutritional value of the feed.
4. Improve feed utilization: Malic acid can promote animal digestion and absorption of feed, increasing the utilization rate of feed. This not only helps to reduce feeding costs and improve economic efficiency, but also helps to reduce nutrient emissions from animal feces, which is of great significance for environmental protection.
5. Promote animal health: Malic acid can inhibit the proliferation of bad bacteria in the intestines and maintain animal intestinal health. In addition, it also has antioxidant properties, which can reduce oxidative stress reactions in animals and enhance their immunity. This has a positive effect on improving the growth performance of animals and reducing the incidence of diseases.
6. Special application scenarios: In ruminant animal feed, the application of malic acid also has special significance. Malic acid can improve the health status of ruminant animals such as cows caused by improper combination of refined and coarse feed in feed or excessive consumption of refined feed.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the deepening of research on animal nutrition, malic acid will be more widely used in the field of feed.
