Feed Acids

Feed acids are acid solutions consisting of various mainly organic acids.

These acids play an important role in modern animal production by contributing to the health and well-being of the animals as well as increasing the efficiency and sustainability of animal husbandry.

The different feed acids can be used for cattle, pigs, and poultry. 

All of Jorenku's solutions of organic acids are based on formic acid.

The use of these acids can lead to a number of benefits for the animals. Some of the most omportant benefits are:

• Strong antimicrobial qualities: that can help combat harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungus, which can reduce the risk of disease outbreaks and contribute to maintain a healthy herd.
  
  
• Creates adverse conditions for harmful microorganisms: such as salmonella, E. coli, and other harmful microorganisms, which can help to maintain a healthy and stable environment.
  
  
• Lowers the pH-level in the water: which creates an acidic environment that is less favorable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
  
  
• Improves the absorption of vitamins and minerals: because the acids act as strong preservatives and therefore, you can avoid unwanted fermentation, which can cause sitophobia and bad feed efficiency.

Jorenku produces 8 different feed acids:

• Koncid+
• Dancid^® 80/20
• Dancid^®+
• Dancid^® Farma
• Dancid^® Farma+
• Dancid^® Ferma
• Dancid^® Soft
• Dancid^® Crimp Blue
• Propionic Acid+

All solutions of acids from Jorenku are based on formic acid.

Additionally, Jorenku also sells some acids individually.

Feed acids are used as part of the animals' daily feed to protect them against viruses, harmful microorganisms, and fungus.

Choosing the right type of acid depends on several factors, including the animal species, age, production type, and the specific challenges your animals face.

Feel free to contact our consultants for advice and guidance in selecting the right product.

The most popular organic acid is formic acid, which in its pure form requires HACCP certification.

The three most popular feed acids from Jorenku are:

• Koncid+ (formic acid 78 %)
• Dancid^® 80/20 (formic acid and propionic acid)
• Dancid^®+ (formic acid, propionic acid, and lactic acid)

Dancid^® Crimp Blue is an advanced liquid solution of formic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and sodium bisulfate.

The product is designed to enhance the crimping and ensiling of all types of cereals and grain maize.

Effektivt Landbrug has written a Danish informativ article about the benefits of crimped maize and cereals, providing insight into how crimping can help reduce feed purchase costs.

If you would like additional information on proper harvesting and preservation of grain for dairy cattle, LandbrugsAvisen has written an informative article in Danish sharing valuable advice and tips on using propionic acid, which can result in good and cost-effective feeding.

No unfortunately not.

Feed acids can be purchased from dealers throughout Denmark and in selected countries worldwide.
