Feed-Grade Lactic Acid is a high-purity organic acid used in animal nutrition. It offers excellent acidity regulation, microbial inhibition, and digestibility, enhancing feed quality, improving gut health, and promoting optimal nutrient absorption for livestock and poultry.
Product Overview
Feed-grade lactic acid (L(S)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid) is produced from high-quality raw materials using modern fermentation techniques. Its molecular formula is C3H6O3, with a molecular weight of 90. This product is a dark brown, viscous liquid with a mild acidic taste and moisture-absorbing properties. It exhibits an acidic reaction in aqueous solutions and is miscible with water, ethanol, or ether, but is insoluble in chloroform. As a commonly used feed additive, feed-grade lactic acid is widely applied in animal feed to help regulate acid-base balance and promote animal health.
Product Features
- Efficient Regulator:Helps regulate the pH level in animal feed, promoting gastrointestinal health in animals.
- Good Solubility:It is miscible with various solvents, ensuring even distribution in animal feed.
- Moisture Absorption:The product's moisture-absorbing properties make it suitable for feed products that need humidity regulation.
Applications
- Feed Industry:Primarily used in animal feed to improve feed quality, regulate the gastrointestinal environment, and promote digestion and absorption.
- Livestock Industry:Supports enhancing animal immunity, growth performance, and reduces the occurrence of diseases, improving farming efficiency.
