Optimization for feed hygiene & water quality
In modern pig and poultry nutrition, optimal nutrition with hygienically perfect feed plays a key role.
Inadequate feed hygiene and poor water quality can limit feed intake.
Therefore, an improvement in feed quality/water quality leads to a significant increase in performance and animal health.
Safe & easy handling – non-corrosive
Proven effectiveness
Strong antimicrobial/antifungal effects
ADDCON XNC reduces the total microbial load in drinking water and liquid feeding.
ADDCON XNC increases water absorption.
ADDCON XNC generally improves feed and water hygiene in animal production.
Table 1
Antimicrobial effects of formic acid against various bacteria
(after Strauss and Hayler, 2001) - Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in %
Table 2
Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, in %) of propionic acid against various fungi.
Acidification of the drinking water by ADDCON XNC leads to improved control of harmful germs, which allows the animal to fully exploit the performance potentioal. ADDCON XNC is therefore part of the ADDCON feed hygiene concept for safe, healthy and economical animal production.
Formic acid (E236), Ammonium formate (E295), Propionic acid (E280), Lactic acid (E270)
When stored in the closed original container, ADDCON XNC can be stored for at least 24 months after manufacture.
