Synopsis

Organic acids have many applications in animal feed and nutrition. They have a long history of use as feed preservatives and have been known for decades to promote growth in livestock, as documented by many scientific publications. Organic acids make a fundamental contribution to feed hygiene, as they suppress the growth of mould and bacterial pathogens. Natural by-products of microbial fermentation, organic acids occur naturally in plants. They have been used for thousands of years as food preservatives, so they are a natural choice in feed formulation. These Proceedings set the standards for the use of acidifiers in animal nutrition, outlining their beneficial effects for livestock production and aquaculture. Correct use of acidifiers is of major global concern, as this collection of papers from some of the world s foremost experts in science and industry describe.
