Effect of dietary sodium diformate on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, gut health and profitability in broilers

can we provide 0.3% NaDF with the enzymes as a stabilizer??? and is that effective for broilers???

Dear Vijay, combination of organic acids and enzymes is often a good idea - in the case of phytase and organic acids it even works synergistically, as the phytase has an optimum pH which is acidic. Therefore I would assume that the combination is effective. What type of enzymes do you plan to use? And what do you mean with stabilizer? Sodium diformate is used without any additional stabilizers in broiler feed.

Dear Sir I just want to try NaDF with enzymes like[ Xylanase,cellulase , phytase and protease]. And can we try this combination with powder form? Enzymes have their activities and with different temp/pH they are not stabilize and also for microbial contents can affect to product so I meant for stabilizer

Dear Vijay, thanks for the update! Yes, you can combine the above listed enzymes with NaDF, however I would do this in the feed only. We have not tested the storage of a blend of acids and enzymes over time, thus I cant recommend whether such a mixture is stable on its own. In case you have further detailed questions you may contact me via christian.lueckstaedt@addcon.com

WHAT AMOUNT NADF IS USED IN FEED

Dear Malay, in poultry feed usually between 1-2 kg/t. In case of bacterial challenge the dosage shall be increased to 3 kg/t. If you want to know more about the use of NaDF in India, please contact Dr. Anant Deshpande under anant.deshpande@addcon.com

Nadf is available in liquid form as a commercial form. Dear christian.

Dear Dr. Murtaza, that would surprise me! Sodium diformate is a mixture of formic acid and sodium formate bound together by a hydrogen bound, thus the conncetion can be only in-tact in a dry state. In a liquid state that bound would be not available; as such in a liquid form the product would be a regular mixture of formic acid and sodium formate.
