An ACIDIFIER is a substance capable of separating in an aqueous solution and releasing protons (H+). Therefore, the more protons a product can provide, the more acidifying it is. (ACIDIFIERS must not be confused with Preservative Premixes or with Intestinal Flora Regulators where we are interested in boosting the fraction of “non-separated” acid which is capable of penetrating the interior of micro-organisms and destroying them).
ACIDIFYING PREMIXES by DEX IBÉRICA are administered in food or drinking water and are mainly intended for improving DIGESTION as they are designed to provide a maximum of protons and decrease the pH of the stomach. This digestive action particularly benefits young animals that still have an immature digestive system and insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, the use of acidifiers improves the use of nutrients (by slowing down the passage of food and improving appetite) and improves the use of medicines.
Advantages to using acidifiers:
