Whether for growth, egg production, immune response, or adapting to stress, proteins are fundamental.<br\/>When formulating a diet, the goal is to provide animals with high-quality proteins with an optimal balance of essential amino acids (those the animal cannot synthesize).<\/p>\n\n<p>However, proper protein supply depends not only on the quality of the protein source but also on digestion and absorption.<br\/>Proteins are partially digested in the stomach by pepsin and further broken down in the duodenum by pancreatic enzymes. Pepsin requires an acidic environment to function effectively, which is why acidifying the diet supports protein digestion.<br\/>Acid also denatures proteins, altering their structure and further enhancing pepsin activity.<\/p>\n\n<p>In young animals, especially during the first days after hatching, stomach acid production is limited. Early dietary acidification promotes protein digestion and supports chick development. In adults, it maintains adequate production.<br\/>Anions (R-COO\u207b) released from acid dissociation also play a role by binding calcium, zinc, and other cations, enhancing the absorption of these minerals essential for animal metabolism. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MODULATION OF INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>It is well known that organic acids significantly reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria while increasing populations of beneficial bacteria such as<em> Lactobacillus spp. <\/em><\/strong><br\/>Organic acids have a modulatory effect on the intestinal bacterial flora (microbiota). By promoting the growth of non-pathogenic strains that line the intestinal epithelium, they prevent adhesion of pathogenic bacteria introduced through the diet. This phenomenon is called competitive exclusion.<br\/>Thus, their effect is not only direct on bacterial cells but also indirect, by preventing their adhesion to the intestinal epithelium.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EFFECTS ON THE GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Several studies report that supplementing diets with combinations of organic acids exerts a trophic\/plastic effect on the intestinal epithelium, promoting the development of villi and the crypts of Lieberk\u00fchn (structures responsible for nutrient absorption, production of protective mucus, and essential molecules for digestion and intestinal defense against pathogens). This property seems to derive indirectly from the antimicrobial action of these acids. <strong>By reducing the activity of pathogenic bacteria and their toxins, normal intestinal permeability is preserved, avoiding transit alterations and nutrient malabsorption, which can cause diarrhea or diarrhea-like episodes<\/strong> (\u201cundigested feed,\u201d etc.). <\/p>\n\n<p>The modulatory action on the microbiota that colonizes the intestine prevents the establishment of pathogens and the onset of inflammatory or sub-inflammatory states, which could lead to chronic inflammation with permanent alterations of intestinal functionality\u2014an aspect that underlies production performance.<br\/><br\/>Studies on broilers and laying hens show that production benefits positively from the action of various combinations of organic acids. Tecnozoo has developed the best acid combinations because we understand how crucial intestinal health is for your animals.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tecnozoo.it\/prodotto\/acidificazione-acqua-pluriacid-liquid\/\">Looking for a complete product to acidify drinking water?
