Acidifiers are organic carboxylic acids with short chains containing 1 to 7 carbons and hydroxyl functional groups. These weak acids, with pKa values ranging from 3 to 5, reduce the pH of water, feed, and the gastrointestinal tract when added to drinking water or feed. This reduction in pH inhibits the growth of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestine, ultimately reducing competition between microbial flora and the host for nutrients and promoting growth
Proteins must be broken down into their building blocks, amino acids, before digestion. Due to their complex structure, proteins are often less accessible for digestion. Lowering the pH in the gastrointestinal tract significantly enhances the accessibility of digestive enzymes to feed proteins
Acidifiers also improve the absorption of vital mineral cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc by binding to them
Given the increasing importance of water hygiene and water supply systems in disease control, acidifiers are now considered one of the most effective methods in this regard. Acidex, as one of the most efficient acidifiers available, not only reduces water contamination and controls diseases, especially gastrointestinal infections, but also enhances the performance of the digestive system, improves the growth potential of poultry, and increases flock productivity
Acidex is a stable product for poultry drinking systems. By creating an acidic environment, it prevents the formation of biofilm in the drinking system and effectively inhibits the growth of microorganisms within it
Advantages of Using Acidex: Acidex helps maintain an optimal pH level in the gastrointestinal tract, improves the function of proteolytic enzymes, and enhances protein digestion in the stomach. It inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, reduces feed conversion ratios, lowers ammonia production, accelerates growth, and decreases the prevalence of infections. Additionally, Acidex preserves the quality and safety of drinking water, prevents poultry enteritis, and inhibits biofilm formation in drinking water pipelines
