Description of Sodium Propionate

Sodium propionate is the sodium salt of propionic acid. It belongs to a group of compounds known as propionates. It is a type of food additive that is commonly used in animal nutrition. In animal nutrition, sodium propionate is primarily used as a preservative and a source of energy for livestock and poultry.

Application of Sodium Propionate

Acts as an effective preservative in animal feed, inhibiting the growth of mold and fungi, thereby extending the shelf life and preserving the quality of the feed
Serves as a readily available energy source for ruminants, supporting their metabolic needs and overall health, particularly during periods of high energy demand
Helps in maintaining the health of the gastrointestinal tract in animals
In dairy cows, it is used to prevent ketosis, especially during early lactation, by providing an additional energy source.
Strengthening the immune system in animals, aiding them in resisting infections and diseases more effectively
