Application of Sodium Propionate (Powder)

Sodium propionate (powder) is widely used in animal nutrition as a preservative and mold inhibitor in animal feed.
Sodium propionate (powder) Helps in improving the shelf life of animal feed by preventing mold and bacteria growth, ensuring healthier, more stable feed for livestock.
Sodium propionate powder is ideal for use in various animal feed applications, including poultry, cattle, and aquaculture, helping maintain feed quality and nutritional value.
Sodium propionate powder may be used to correct negative energy balance in dairy cattle and prevent ketosis.

Benefits of Sodium Propionate (Powder)

Broad spectrum of mould inhibition effect and effectively prevents mold growth and spoilage in animal feed.
Helps maintain the nutritional value of animal feed by preventing microbial contamination.
Ensures that animal feed remains stable and fresh for longer..
Improves villus height and function of secretion, digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Correct negative energy balance in dairy cattle and prevent ketosis

Frequently Asked Questions on: Sodium Propionate (Powder)

Can Sodium Propionate (Powder) be used in both complete feed and individual feed ingredients?

Yes, our Sodium Propionate is a versatile powder that can be effectively mixed into both complete animal feeds and individual raw materials. This allows for targeted mold protection at any point in your feed management chain.

What is the recommended dosage for effective mold inhibition versus for preventing ketosis in dairy cattle?

For broad mold inhibition, the standard dosage is 1-3 kg per ton of feed. For ketosis prevention in dairy cattle, a higher therapeutic dose of 100-250 grams per head per day is typically required.

Is it safe for continuous use in animal diets without affecting feed palatability or water intake?

It is considered safe for continuous use at recommended levels for mold prevention without impacting feed palatability. At higher doses for ketosis, it should be introduced gradually, as it can sometimes influence taste and water intake.

Does Sodium Propionate (Powder) remain stable and effective during high-temperature feed processing like pelleting?

Our Sodium Propionate demonstrates excellent stability, retaining its full efficacy as a mold inhibitor even after undergoing high-temperature feed processing like pelleting. This ensures your final product remains protected and stable during storage.

Can it be used alongside other preservatives, like calcium propionate, in the same feed formulation?

Absolutely, it can be used very effectively in combination with other preservatives like calcium propionate. This approach can create a broader spectrum of activity against different types of mold and yeast.

Are smaller packaging options available for individual farms or smaller-scale use?

We understand that operational needs vary, and we offer a range of packaging sizes to accommodate everything from large mills to individual farms. Please contact our sales team to discuss the most suitable packaging option for your requirements.
