Vevo Vitall® - performance, profit and environmental care
Benzoic acid is a natural ingredient in fruits (berries, ripe cloves and oil of anise seed). Benzoic acid and its salts have been used for many years as preservative agents by the food industry, but in some countries also as silage additives, mainly due to their strong efficacy against various fungi and yeasts. Benzoic acid has been approved in the European Union as a feed additive for growing finishing pigs at the inclusion levels of 0.5-1.0% and included into group M, acidity regulators. Due to its antibacterial activity in the gut and specific metabolism, benzoic acid reveals multiple beneficial effects. Dietary supplementation results in a decrease of urinary pH, accompanied by a reduction in ammonia emission and improved growth performance, in particular with regard to feed conversion efficiency.
