1,2-Propandiol USP

1,2 Propandiol (propylene glycol) is a feed additive used for multiple purposes. In 1999, 1,2 Propandiol was released within the EU for use as an energy-rich animal feed. It is now mainly used in feed for ruminants, particularly dairy cattle. In the first 100 days of their lactation period, dairy cattle frequently suffer from extreme energy deficiency due to a lack of substrate for glyconeogenesis.

Amasil^®75, 85 & 99

Contaminated feed is the main source of salmonella infections in animal production (swine, poultry). Salmonella infections result in reduced feed conversion and increased mortality. Amasil^® is a formic acid that effectively preserves compound feed by its acidifying properties. It also has pronounced hygiene condition enhancement properties and is a powerful tool against pathogens such as salmonella and E. coli.
