Animal producers suffer from losses caused by a wide range of Gram-negative
and Gram-positive bacterial contamination and associated effects on the livestock,
such as lower daily weight gain, impaired feed intake, diarrhoea as well as increased
veterinary costs and mortality.

The strongest bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects among organic acids have been
demonstrated for formic acid.
ADDCON has made the documented effects of formic acid even stronger –
by combining this trusted acid with the patented impact of medium chain fatty acids
and antioxidants to broaden the efficacy range.
