What is the impact of organic acids in pig diets? Here are the top 5 impacts

Organic acids have been shown to have positive effects on reducing gastric pH, improving nutrient digestibility, preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and improving growth performance and gut microbiota.

The continuous use of growth promoting antibiotics has been banned in swine production systems due to concerns related to drug residue and antibiotic resistance in pathogens. To maintain pig health and performance, the use of organic acids as potential alternatives to antibiotics is recommended. Organic acids modulate gut microbiota, play a role in combating pathogenic bacteria, reduce post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets, and eventually enhance the nutrient utilisation and growth performance of
