Dear Sir, We always salute to the innovations made by Kemin in the field of Animal nutrition. This innovative mould inhibitor will definitely resolves the past issues related to use of such products. If i am correct propionic acid is a short chain fatty acid with aliphatic tails of less than six carbons.& in Lipid digestion that directly absorbed in portal vein.If so then this group contains other fatty acids than Propionic acid, apart from that also why propionic acid is prefered as mould inhibitor? {Acetic acid , Propionic acid ,Isobutyric acid (2-methylpropanoic acid) ,Butyric acid ,Isovaleric acid (3-methylbutanoic acid) ,Valeric acid (pentanoic acid) ,Caproic acid (hexanoic acid)} Please your kindly guidence on the topic will help me to upgrade my knowledge on the subject matter. Wishing the better success for your this product in the Indian Market. Thanks & regards, Dr. Jaydip
