Role of Acidifiers in Gut health management of Aquatic species

In aquaculture feed, the dietary supplementation of organic acids and their salts as growth promoters has been established. The use of acidifiers in aqua feed requires a different approach due to diversified feeding habits and wide variation in the digestive system structure and physiological function. Dietary organic acids can increase pancreatic enzyme production, decrease stomach pH levels, inhibit pathogens, provide energy, improve mineral utilization, and improve nutrient digestibility, all of which improve animal development performance.
