Acitra™
Feed acidification, preservation and hygiene

Maintaining feed quality is important for animal health and performance. Moisture and temperature variations during storage and transport can increase the risk of feed spoilage, while feed acidification can support digestion and gut balance.

Eastman Acitra™ is a versatile range of formic acid-based blends designed for feed acidification, preservation and hygiene. The solutions help preserve feed quality, reduce spoilage risks and support pH reduction in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

What is Acitra™?

Acitra™ is a versatile range of formic acid-based blends designed for acidification, feed preservation and hygiene, as well as use as a digestive aid.

Acitra™ solutions help preserve feed and reduce the risk of spoilage. They also support pH reduction in the upper gastrointestinal tract and help maintain an optimal microbiota.

The range includes different formulations to meet specific feed and application requirements.

Why Acitra™?

• Feed acidification

  Acitra™ acidifies feed and supports acidification in the upper gastrointestinal tract. By reducing pH and buffer capacity, organic acids can help improve protein digestibility and support a balanced gut environment. Acitra™ can also help reduce bacterial fermentation, which may contribute to improved litter quality in poultry and fewer diarrhea cases in piglets.

• Feed preservation

  Acitra™ blends provide a preservative effect in feed by targeting Enterobacteriaceae, molds and yeasts. This helps extend feed shelf life and reduce spoilage risks during storage and transport. Acitra™ helps protect feed quality against deterioration caused by changing temperature and moisture conditions, supporting consistent feed quality and animal performance.

• Feed hygiene

  Short-chain fatty acids used in Acitra™ solutions, including formic acid blends, help improve feed hygiene by reducing harmful bacteria in feed. This supports gut health and nutrient utilization, contributing to overall animal well-being.

• Flexible formulations

  Acitra™ offers both buffered and non-buffered blends, as well as liquid and solid formulations. This flexibility allows you to choose an appropriate solution for your specific application while helping manage safety and corrosion considerations.

Choosing the right Acitra™ solution

Acitra™ offers different formulations for feed acidification, preservation and hygiene. Both buffered and non-buffered blends are available in liquid and solid forms.

The appropriate Acitra™ solution depends on the feed, application, storage conditions and specific production requirements.
