Keeping Your Animal Feed Fresh and Safe with Vetnova's Propionate Solutions
Nothing is more frustrating than discovering that your carefully stored animal feed has spoiled or developed mould. Not only does this represent a financial loss, but it can also put your animals’ health and performance at risk. That’s exactly why propionates with their powerful mould inhibiting properties have become such trusted allies for farmers, feed manufacturers, and animal nutritionists worldwide.
Understanding Propionates: Your Feed’s Natural Guardians
Think of propionates as invisible protectors working around the clock to keep your animal feed fresh and safe. These naturally-occurring organic acid derivatives sodium propionate, calcium propionate, and ammonium propionate – act like a protective shield against the microorganisms that can turn good feed into a health hazard.
What makes it so effective is their ability to create an environment where harmful mould and bacteria simply can’t thrive. This means your feed maintains its nutritional value longer, stays fresher during storage, and gives you peace of mind knowing your animals are getting the quality nutrition they deserve.
Whether you’re managing a small farm or overseeing large-scale livestock, poultry, or aquaculture operations, propionates help ensure that the investment you’ve made in quality feed doesn’t go to waste due to spoilage or contamination.
Our Comprehensive Propionate Solutions
At Vetnova, we understand that different operations have different needs, which is why we offer three distinct propionate solutions:
Sodium Propionate: It serves as your feed’s first line of defense, effectively preventing microbial contamination that can compromise both safety and nutritional quality. It’s particularly valuable for operations that need reliable, consistent preservation across various feed types. It is widely used in animal nutrition as a preservative and mold inhibitor in animal feed. Helps in improving the shelf life of animal feed by preventing mold and bacteria growth, ensuring healthier, more stable feed for livestock.
Calcium Propionate excels at stopping mould in its tracks while extending shelf life significantly. This makes it ideal for feed manufacturers and distributors who need their products to maintain quality during transport and storage.
Ammonium Propionate / Dipropionate (Liquid & Powder): These serves as a premium feed additive commonly used in animal nutrition, particularly in livestock feed and silage and grain preservation, due to its antimicrobial and mould-inhibiting properties. It prevents spoilage of feed ingredients like grains, silage, and compounded feed, especially under warm and humid conditions.
Why Vetnova Propionates Make the Difference
We know that when it comes to feed preservation, there’s no room for compromise. That’s why every Vetnova propionate product is manufactured in facilities certified under FAMI _QS, WHO-GMP and ISO standards – the same rigorous quality controls used for human food and pharmaceutical products.
Our propionates don’t just preserve feed. They preserve your investment. By significantly extending shelf life, they help you manage inventory more effectively, reduce waste, and maintain consistent feed quality over time. Plus, they’re completely safe and non-toxic, so you can use them with confidence knowing they won’t harm your animals or affect the quality of animal products.
When you choose Vetnova’s propionate solutions, you’re not just buying a preservative – you’re investing in a comprehensive approach to feed safety that protects your animals, your business, and your bottom line.
