Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer committed to sustainably changing the quality of daily life for 80% of the world’s population through its products and services, launches FORMYL™, an innovative feed additive designed to improve the health and productivity of pigs. USA. Kemin North America’s cutting-edge Animal Nutrition and Health solution uses a proprietary blend of encapsulated calcium formate and citric acid to ensure optimal delivery and effectiveness.
       Calcium formate was recently approved in the United States for use as an acidifier in complete feeds for swine and poultry. Research shows that calcium formate is an effective feed acidifier and antibacterial agent that can fight pathogens by destroying their cell membranes.
       “We are excited to bring more innovative products to the swine market,” said Daryl Schraad, president, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health, North America. “Our team is constantly working to bring new solutions to market, and we are confident that FORMYL will have a positive impact on the pork industry in terms of productivity and profitability.”
       Calcium formate is widely known for its ability to lower the pH of the gastrointestinal tract, which helps improve the barrier to the passage of microorganisms through the intestines. This in turn can increase the activity of stomach enzymes after weaning, improving digestion and reducing the likelihood of diarrhea. Through targeted release in the gastrointestinal tract, FORMYL provides acidification, enhancing pathogen control efforts and supporting overall gut health, thereby improving the productivity and profitability of swine production.
