Poultry Feed
SoftAcid® is a unique and efficient acidifier for poultry feed.
The poultry digestive system differs significantly from that of the pig. This, combined with the strong buffering capacity of poultry feed, result in a reduced antimicrobial efficiency of organic acids for this application.
Borregaard has developed a SoftAcid product that contains organic acids and lignosulfonic acid. The product has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect on both Salmonella and E. coli.
Benefits
- Efficient pH reduction and control
- Strong antibacterial effect
- Low corrosion rate
- Good synergy between organic acids and polyphenols
- More sustainable than pure acids
Lca: softacid vs formic acid
A life cycle analysis compared softacid® to pure formic acid for animal feed. the results confirm that softacid is the overall most sustainable choice.
Webinar: the key is lignosulfonic acid

All you need to know about bacterial inhibition
Although microorganisms are very small in size, too small to be seen by the eye, they cause substantial economic losses each year for both the food and feed industry. microbial growth can be controlled either by prevention or inhibition – using an antimicrobial agent.
