Description of Potassium Formate

Potassium Formate, is the potassium salt of formic acid. Potassium Formate plays an important role in various physiological functions in animals. Potassium is one of the essential macrominerals required in relatively large amounts in the diet of animals.

Application of Potassium Formate

Helps in maintaining and improving gut health in animals.
Acts as effective preservatives in animal feed, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, thereby extending feed shelf life and maintaining quality.
Promotes better digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to improved growth rates in livestock.
Exhibits antimicrobial properties, reducing the load of pathogenic bacteria in the gut, which is beneficial for animal health.
Helps in regulating the pH of the gastrointestinal tract, creating an environment less favorable for harmful bacteria and more conducive to nutrient absorption.
