Fumaric Acid
ALFUM Fumaric Acid Feed Grade
Introduction
Alzyne Fumaric Acid, a dicarboxylic acid, is increasingly recognized for its applications in various industries, particularly in the feed industry. Feed grade fumaric acid is derived from natural sources and is used primarily as an acidifier in animal diets. It helps to improve nutrient absorption, enhances gut health, and promotes the overall growth of livestock and poultry.
Additionally, fumaric acid serves as a preservative, preventing spoilage and extending shelf life. Its unique properties not only contribute to better feed quality but also support animal well-being by balancing the pH levels in the digestive tract.
As the demand for sustainable and efficient feed additives rises, fumaric acid stands out as a valuable ingredient, ensuring optimal performance in animal husbandry while adhering to safety and regulatory standards.

Functions and Applications
1. Acidifier and weight enhancer
Fumaric acid as feed acidifier, adding an appropriate amount of acidified Qi in pig diet can significantly improve pig daily gain and reduce feeding cost.
2. It can be used as an anti stress agent to enhance immune function and relieve stress
The addition of fumaric acid to the feed increased the resistance of chicks to vaccination stress, increased the viability and immune response after stress response. Fumaric acid itself also has a sedative effect, inhibits the nerve center, reduces the body's activities, and can better slow down the heat stress response.
The energy formation pathway of fumaric acid is shorter than that of glucose. In case of stress, it can be used for the emergency synthesis of ATP and can be used as a stress agent.
