ProPhorce™ AC 299 Elegantly Balanced Performance

The power of balance Perstorp recognises that it is more important than ever to manage your dietary electrolyte balance – without compromising animal performance and feed efficiency. That is why we developed ProPhorce™ AC 299. Sodium bicarbonate – 1.5 kg/ton ProPhorce™ AC 299 is a highly available sodium source, as well as being a non-corrosive, dry acidifier. It is an economically efficient solution that replaces two products at once. It contains both sodium and formate that have a number of unique properties, as they: ProPhorce™ AC 299 – 1.3 kg/ton ProPhorce™ AC 299 – 5.0 kg/ton • Enhance the...

Optimizing performance ProPhorce™ AC 299 is an ideal sodium source Nutritionists usually optimize dEB through the addition of sodium bicarbonate. However, basic chemistry shows that adding sodium bicarbonate to an acidic solution will increase the pH and release CO2 and water. This has a number of nutritional implications. Firstly, any increase in gastric pH negatively affects the enzyme pepsin, that requires a low gastric pH to work optimally. Secondly, any commercial acidifiers added to the diet can be effectively neutralised by sodium bicarbonate by up to 30%. So while sodium bicarbonate provides...

How to calculate dEB The dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) is the balance between Na+, K+ and Cl- in feed and is calculated as follows: dEB (mEq) = Na/0,023 + K/0,039 – Cl/0,035 where Na, K and Cl is in g/kg Dry Matter Contrary to popular belief salt changes dEB very little, here’s why: 1 kg NaCl= 390/0,023 + K/0,039 - 606/0,035 = 0,36 mEq Compared to ProPhorce™ AC 299: 1 kg ProPhorce™ AC 299 = 340/0,023 + K/0,039 - Cl/0,035 = 14,78 mEq
