What is Sodium Propionate Feed Grade?
Sodium Propionate (CAS No. 137-40-6) is the sodium salt of propionic acid, produced through the neutralization of propionic acid with sodium compounds. It is a safe and effective organic acid preservative widely used in animal feed applications.
When added to feed, Sodium Propionate releases propionic acid, which inhibits the growth of molds, yeasts, and unwanted microorganisms. It is especially suitable for maintaining feed quality during storage and transportation.
Compared with liquid propionic acid, Sodium Propionate offers:
- Easy handling and storage
- Excellent water solubility
- Stable powder form
- Convenient feed mixing
Applications of Sodium Propionate in Animal Feed
