About this document
BASF Organic Acids for Animal Nutrition by Lalit Chaudhari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Organic acids are used in animal nutrition for their antimicrobial effects. They can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and yeasts without being antibiotics. BASF offers pure and buffered organic acids as well as mixtures for use as preservatives in feed and drinking water to improve hygiene and animal performance. Organic acids work by lowering pH, penetrating cell membranes, and damaging membranes. Their use has not led to bacterial resistance.
