Optimizing Drinking Water for Healthier Animals

What is VerAcid Liquid?

VerAcid Liquid is a premium multi-acid acidifier formulated with a unique blend of formic acid, propionic acid, phosphoric acid, and citric acid. Designed specifically for use in the drinking water of livestock, VerAcid Liquid enhances water quality, promotes digestive health, prevents pathogen growth and contributes to overall animal health.

Maximizing Health with a Unique Blend of Acids

VerAcid Liquid harnesses the synergistic effects of formic acid, propionic acid, phosphoric acid, and citric acid to provide comprehensive benefits for livestock when used in drinking water. VerAcid Liquid features a high content of formic acid, making it a potent solution for optimizing drinking water for livestock. With a pKa of 3.75, formic acid exhibits strong acid dissociation, meaning it effectively releases protons into the water. This leads to a significant reduction in pH, creating an inhospitable environment for many harmful microorganisms.The higher acidity from formic acid means that more molecules remain dissociated, actively contributing to the acidification of the drinking water. In contrast, other organic acids like propionic acids, which have higher pKa values, have a greater proportion of undissociated molecules. While these can still cross bacterial cell walls, formic acid’s effectiveness in reducing pH and its direct antibacterial action make it particularly powerful in controlling microbial growth.

Here’s how this unique combination works together to enhance animal health:
1. Enhanced Acidification:
o The combination of these four acids effectively lowers the pH of drinking water more significantly than any single acid alone. This strong acidification impedes microbial growth, ensuring cleaner and safer water for livestock.
2. Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Action:
o Each acid contributes unique antimicrobial properties, creating a broad-spectrum effect against bacteria, yeast, and molds. This multi-faceted approach reduces the overall pathogen load in the drinking water, supporting better gastrointestinal health.
3. Direct Antimicrobial Activity:
o Organic acids possess intrinsic antimicrobial properties that directly inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms. This effect can weaken bacterial cell walls, leading to cell death and reducing pathogen loads in the drinking water
4. Improved Gut Health:
o The blend promotes an optimal pH environment in the digestive tract, which is essential for the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria while suppressing harmful organisms. This healthy gut microbiota supports digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
5. Effective Nutrient Utilization:
o By improving water quality and gut health, this combination enhances the uptake of nutrients from feed, leading to better growth rates and feed efficiency in livestock. Animals consuming water with VerAcid Liquid can convert feed into product more effectively.
6. Comprehensive Mineral Management:
o Phosphoric acid plays a critical role in mineral absorption, particularly in reducing the effects of hard water. This promotes better availability of essential nutrients, which are critical for bone health and overall growth.
7. Stress Reduction and Immune Support:
o The synergistic effects of improved water quality and gut health help reduce stress in animals, which can be exacerbated by pathogens. A healthier environment contributes to stronger immune responses and greater resilience to health challenges.
8. Environmental Benefits:
o The combined action of these acids can help reduce ammonia emissions and other environmental issues related to livestock production by supporting healthier animals that utilize their nutrients more efficiently.
