Animal producers suffer from losses caused by bacterial contamination
and associated effects on the livestock, such as lower daily
weight gain and increased 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 a registered salt to
enhance the efficacy range.

ADDCON XL 2.0 reduces the total microbial load in the drinking 
water and in the upper digestive tract

ADDCON XL 2.0 optimizes protein digestibility

ADDCON XL 2.0 improves feed + water hygiene, and therefore performance
