Organic acids in feed and water supplies for poultry

Practical Applications of Formaldehyde and Organic Acids in Control of Enteric Pathogens in Feed and Drinking Water

Published: August 23, 2011
Summary
Introduction Intestinal colonization and shedding of pathogenic bacteria in animal feces is an important issue in both human food safety and animal health. Animal feed due to its composition provides a favorable environment for the growth of various microorganisms. Microorganisms found in feedstuffs can be saprophytic, pathogenic, conditionally pathogenic and toxic. Their proliferation and gro...

Using FormalD you cause more damage than benefit to two populations, first human and then gut friendly bacteria.

It is well know from Bayer and other companies, to try to involve formaldehyde as antimicrobial agent in animal protection. My opinion are that must involve high concern regarding toxic and other side effects. WHO link: http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/chemicals/formaldehyde130605.pdf

Use of organic acids and formaldehyde has been in practice for a considerably long time with excellent results., Of course, proper formulation part is the art of product safety.

Formaldehyde is prohibited by most countries of the world to be used in fumigation due to its carcinogenisis effect on human being. Most of the companies producing feed & water disinfectant use formaldehyde and organic acids to control pathogens of animals. It is very safe and practical to use such product it producing hyagenic feeds & foods and it is giving excellent results and reducing use of Antibiotics which is more dangerous than carcinogenics .

Good but controversial study, inclusion rate for bacterial control is also debatable. But still good research work.

Using of Formaldehyde in EU and some other countries are fully ban , regarding the study and practical approach by the Feeds companies to combact the Pathogens still there are certain other methods to reduce the disease challanges like Heat Treated feeds etc . Yes for the water acidification the Organic acid give very good and excellnt results every where in the world . Please for using the Fd consider the side effect and Dr Mirslave Besermenji Link for WHO .

I think Organic acid use is better than Formaldehyde.I have conducted a practical on Organic Acid.otherwise article is good.

Dear colleges, Using of the raw formaldehyde in the feed is more dangerous for Both feed Production people as well as the birds. Some time it may cause NE in Birds mostly if we are using continuously in the feed. The Organic acids can be used effectively in the water to get good effect towards sanitization of drinking water and it can be easily checked by cross verification of the PH of Water ( Even PH papers can be used for the same). During New Maize season also ( If Maize is More than 16 % Moisture ) we can use the organic acids to control the mould growth in the feed. Now a days it is very essential to control the mould growh in the finished feed with this grains shortage world.

Article is good but I agree with Dr Farooks opinion , Use of organic acids is far better than formaldehyde which is practically giving excellent results .

we have seen great results after using organic acids and formaldehyde in broilers and layers.of course the best result was after using organic acids + probiotics or + phytobiotics which has no side effect and also are not carcinogen . I am waiting for texts about probiotics and phytobiotics to. Thank you very much for your search. good luck

Quite surprising article on Formaldehyde to be used orally.

The organic acids will work very well in controlling the gram negative gut pathogens only in the acidic pH of Proventriculus and Gizzard as the acids are in undissociated form here. Where as at neutral pH prevailing at crop and Intestine, the acids are in dissociated form and there by unable to penetrate into the bacterial cell and subsequently there won't be any bactericidal activity. The efficacy of the organic acids will depend on the following factors 1. Acids used and its synergistic combinations 2. Dosage (breeding and laying diets will require more dosage when compare to chick and grower diets) 3. Type of Pathogens 4. Pathogen Load

Dear All, We have conducted the Field study on " Efficacy of Short Chain fatty acids(Organic Acids) on Water Quality". Under this program, we have collected around 200 Water samples from different sources(farms) and localities( Area). It was found that deep bore well water has more PH and hardness and required more doses of organic acid to bring the PH of water below permissible limit. Also the hard water after treatment with Organic acid shows less PH stability at room temperature so its need to consume the same ASAP. Else Organic Acid specially Acetic acid is the best remedy to control the harmful micro flora in drinking water. Lots of thanks to Author to compile the literature on Organic acids with effective manner. Regards, Dr Jaydip

results of organic acids using depends on organic acids composition and percentage of acids in final product

can we use acetic acid or vinegar to control enteric pathogens in water?

Enteric poultry is great treat to poultry industry nowadays, therefore, more discussion about the is very essential to understand deeper the root-cause of the problem and its solution. thank you very much.

good combination of organic acids especially propionic and formic with formaldehyde give nice results to
control enteric pathogens > i used it as product call formycine 1-1.5 kg /ton in breeder broiler and layers feed
but you must know that it may affect on some live water administrated vaccines >

Thank you all

Which one is the better option sir ! Acidification of water or acidification of feed? How often is it good to do acidification? Please suggest me a schedule.
