Uso de Acidificantes en la Producción de Pollos de Broilers.

Abstract

This technical report discloses the benefits of the use of acidifiers in poultry production, since the concern of the poultry farmer, the market is to provide healthy animals free of medication that could affect human health, is so involved in the acidifying diets for preserving it, as they are attacked by pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, etc.. It also reduces the pH in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing an environment conducive to the proliferation of pathogens that affect the health and welfare of the animal, preventing the emergence of diseases such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, diarrhea, etc.., causing death of animals, there by affecting production. Doses or acceptable levels of use of these supplements, you agree to the commercial product, especially the organic acid is used, misused, management can be difficult because they are corrosive, and when using high doses may adversely affect the palatability of foods and decrease its ingestion, and excessive acidification(below3.5), leads to a partial suppression of secretion of lactic acid, and poor secretion of hydrochloric acid, favoring an appropriate for the development of pathogenic bacteria. And by using properly with nutritional measures, management and bio security can be a powerful tool, as well as maintaining the health of the gastrointestinal tract, improves zootechnical performance.
