Description
Propionic Acid – Effective Feed Preservation & Mould Control
Propionic acid is a naturally occurring short-chain fatty acid widely used in animal feed preservation to help control mould and bacterial growth. Its antimicrobial properties make it an effective solution for protecting feed quality, nutritional value, and storage stability.
Propionic acid-based preservation products, including solutions used within the Trouw Nutrition/Selko range, are designed to help manage microbial challenges in raw materials and compound feeds.
Mould & Microbial Control
Propionic acid helps inhibit the growth of moulds and certain bacteria by disrupting microbial cell membranes and lowering intracellular pH, helping to protect feed from spoilage.
Supports Feed Quality
By reducing microbial growth, propionic acid helps maintain the nutritional quality and freshness of raw materials and finished feeds during storage.
Improved Application
Advanced formulations can combine propionic acid with buffering agents, emulsifiers, and other functional ingredients to improve distribution throughout the feed while helping to reduce corrosiveness.
Shelf-Life Extension
Effective preservation helps protect feed during storage, reducing the risk of mould development and deterioration and supporting consistent feed quality.
