AcidFoss
AcidFoss is a product range of acid mixes, with formulations adapted to the special needs of piglets at different growth stages.
ABOUT:
- Stimulates optimal digestion
- pH reduction
- Feed efficiency/daily growth
AcidFoss is an acid mix that, besides the benefits of more simple acid applications, are formulated for high palatability and stimulates optimal digestion: When feed enters the stomach, pH increases, inhibiting protein digestion. The pepsin enzyme depends on a rather low pH to be activated. Applying acids, that quickly reduce the stomach pH, minimise the time after feed intake, where pepsin- based protein pre-digestion is impaired, allowing the pig to absorb more nutrients in the small intestine. Using acids to achieve a low acid-binding capacity of the feed, an optimal stomach pH is assured.
Dosage:
