Organic acids came to Pancosma through acquisitions and are now firmly grounded in our product* portfolio. They include solutions to optimize the acidification of young animals, animal production and in addition they play an essential role in controlling feed hygiene, preservation of feed materials, water quality and optimizing TMR as well as silage quality.
Why adding organic acids to animal feed makes sense
Acidification enables lowering of pH in feed and the digestive tract of animals. This helps to maintain the optimum pH in the stomach for enzymatic actions and to ensure proper protein digestion in the intestine. The acidic environment also creates a barrier to the entry of harmful bacteria and their colonization in the intestine. E.coli and Salmonella are pH sensitive and their proliferation is minimized below pH 5.
Even under hygienic conditions, factors like high moisture and warm environment can facilitate the growth of certain fungi, yeast or bacteria, minimizing the feed nutritive value by metabolizing its starch and protein. Preservation can help to ensure a continuous supply of high-quality feedstuffs and reduce the risk of pathogen uptake by the animal.

It comes in liquid and dry form, which gives the flexibility to be utilized both in feed and drinking water. Besides our standard portfolio we also offer custom-made solutions based on our knowhow on product technology and performance.
Frequently asked questions
Do you only produce dry solutions, or do you also offer liquid acidifiers?
Both options are available, depending on the application requirements and conditions.
What is the main source for your medium chain fatty acids products?
They are mainly derived from coconut and palm-kernel oil.
What is the most popular product in the Pancosma organic acids product range?
Since the preservation and hygiene control of animal feed and raw materials is fundamental to feed quality, products designed for preservation and hygiene control are used most frequently
Nevertheless, the use of special organic acids, such as medium chain fatty acids and esterified organic acids, is receiving growing attention. This is in response to an increasing body of scientific research showing the benefits these type of components can bring to animals. Our products from the DaaFit range contain medium chain fatty acids, as well as a combination of short- and medium-chain fatty acids, which have been the subject of these scientific studies.
Can I apply Pancosma organic acids to the water systems for farm animals?
Our products DaaquaSafe and DaaquaForce have been specifically developed for the application to the water system on farms.
Can you offer tailormade organic acids solutions to match my specific challenges?
Yes, we have the capability to adapt acidifiers to the specific needs of our customers. Find out more about our tailormade service here.
Do you have organic acids suitable for aquaculture?
Yes, our preservation and feed hygiene products are all applicable to aquaculture. Together with our Aqua colleagues we have also carried out several trials investigating the impact of DaaFit products on the wellbeing of fish and shrimp, which showed a positive response.
