VerSal Liquid is a unique acid premix that combines the beneficial properties of a variety of organic acids, including formic, lactic, propionic, acetic, and citric acids. This powerful blend improves drinking water sanitation and inhibits the growth of certain harmful pathogens.
Organic acids have been used as preservatives in animal feed for years because of their strong antimicrobial properties. The mode of action of VerSal Liquid is based on the combined effects of several factors. VerSal Liquid lowers the pH to a level where pathogenic bacteria cannot grow or reproduce.
VerSal Liquid also lowers the intracellular pH of the microorganism and damages the cell from within. It disrupts the bacteria’s DNA and protein synthesis, reducing the bacteria’s ability to replicate. In addition, the acids in VerSal Liquid damage the protein structure of the bacterial membrane, ultimately causing death.
VerSal Liquid’s blend of organic acids has additional benefits for the animal. In the stomach, VerSal Liquid promotes a rapid pH drop, which supports the action of pepsin and protein digestion. In the small intestine, VerSal Liquid improves the intestinal microbiota by inhibiting pathogenic microbes.
The formic acid in VerSal Liquid has strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects and improves protein digestion. Lactic acid lowers the intestinal pH, has antibacterial effects in the stomach and proximal duodenum, and has a positive effect on the intestinal villi. The propionic acid in VerSal Liquid has a powerful effect against fungi and yeast, making it a very effective preservative.
VerSal Liquid is an essential tool for improving the hygiene and health of production animals. Its powerful combination of organic acids makes it an ideal solution for microbial reduction in drinking water systems. In addition, its antimicrobial properties help to improve nutrient utilization, reduce digestive disorders, and promote growth in livestock.
