- Acids Improve Performance
Adding organic acids to the feeds of young pigs is not new. Research has shown that addition of acids to feeds improved the performance of weaning pigs. Digestive enzymes are more ac_x0002_tive in acidic conditions. In new born piglets, the gastrointestinal tract is im_x0002_mature and not fully capable of pro_x0002_ducing sufficient digestive acids, en_x0002_zymes and microflora necessary for efficient digestion of feeds. The en_x0002_zyme pepsin hydrolyses certain pep_x0002_tide bonds and initalizes the digestion of protein. The proenzyume pepsino_x0002_gen is secreted from the cells of the stomach wall. Under ACIDIC condi_x0002_tions (pH 1.6 to 3.2) the prozyme pep_x0002_sinogen is activated to form pepsin. Appropriate gastric pH level will favor the production of pepsin and therefore enhance the digestion of protein.
Trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen are proenzymes secreted into the du_x0002_odenum portion of the small intestine from the pancreas in an inactive form to be activated at the site of digestion by means of acidification. Both en_x0002_zymes can convert protein into digest_x0002_ible amino acids. Addition of acids will effectively acidify the duodenum portion and result in higher enzymatic activity which in turn enhances diges_x0002_tion, growth rate and feed efficiencies.- Directions For Use:
MORACID
Mix 1-2 kilograms (2-5 pounds) of MorAcid with 1 ton of complete feed.
MORACID SP
Dissolve 1 kilogram of MorAcid SP in 20 liters of water to make a stock solution. Me-ter stock solution at a rate of 10 ml per liter of fresh drinking water.

- Acids and Pathogenci Bacteria
Acidic condition in the digestive tract can prevent the invasion of patho-genic bacteria. Lower pH also favors the growth of lactic acid producing bacteria. Since pathogens and lactic acid producing bacteria compete for nutrients and colonization sites in the digestive tract, lower pH can enhance the lactic acid producing bacteria and reduce the pathogenic bacteria. This condition will benefit animal health relatd characteristics. The following chart clearly illustrates the benefit of lower pH can enhance the lactic acid producing bacteria and reduce the pathogenic bacteria. This condition will benefit animal health related characteristics. The following chart clearly illustrates the benef of lower pH on the reduction of pathogenic bacteria.
