Feed Grade Lactic Acid CAS NO. 79-33-4 Wholesale

Feed grade lactic acid is an acid produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates such as sugar and starch. It is used as an acidulant, flavoring, and preservative agent in animal feed. It can also be used as a pH regulator, neutralizer, and fermenting agent in feed production. Lactic acid is a safe and effective feed additive and has a relatively low toxicity level.

Feed Grade Lactic Acid Application

Feed-grade lactic acid can be used for a number of applications in animal feed production. It can be used as a pH regulator to help maintain the proper acidity levels in feed rations. It can also be used as a preservative to help extend the shelf life of feed products and prevent spoilage. Additionally, it can act as an energy source for animals, as lactic acid is a source of carbohydrates. Finally, it can help reduce bacterial growth in feed ingredients and products.
