Suanliuliu® 5000 delivers real cost savings and true simplicity!

Shortages of conventional feed ingredients have led to increased use of unconventional ingredients.
Ongoing market conditions, the pandemic, and the international situation have kept prices of conventional feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal persistently high. Globally, supplies of these standard feed ingredients remain tight, and China’s shortfall in feed ingredient supply is expected to persist for the long term. To ensure production and reduce costs, feed companies are increasingly turning to non-conventional feed ingredients.

Global major agricultural commodities faced tight supply and demand conditions in 2022/2023.

China’s feed resources will continue to be in short supply.
Using unconventional raw materials poses many challenges.
Compared with conventional feed ingredients, non-conventional ingredients have numerous drawbacks, including amino acid imbalances, low energy content, high levels of antinutritional factors, and poor nutrient digestibility. Without proper mitigation, these issues can lead to inadequate energy supply, impaired digestion and absorption, and an increased risk of mold growth in the feed, thereby compromising animal health, reducing farming profitability, and preventing genuine cost reduction and efficiency gains.
Feed Cost Reduction Solutions Aligned with Industry Needs
Achieving feed cost reduction requires identifying effective cost-saving levers and implementing practical solutions. Suanliuliu® 5000 is specifically designed for genuine cost savings: it enhances starch utilization in feed, promotes nutrient digestion and absorption, while controlling water activity to reduce the risk of mold growth, ensuring that cost reductions are both real and effective.

Comprehensive empirical evidence of the efficacy of Suanliuliu® 5000
Experiment 1: Increasing feed moisture increases starch gelatinization.
Digestible starch is one of the primary energy sources. Non-conventional feed ingredients often contain high levels of indigestible starch. Acid-Liu-Liu® 5000 promotes starch gelatinization by increasing feed moisture, converting indigestible starch into digestible starch, enhancing starch utilization, and ensuring an adequate energy supply.
Suanliuli® 500 effectively increases feed moisture by 1–2% and promotes starch gelatinization.

Empirical Evidence 2: Reduces acid-binding capacity and promotes nutrient absorption
Research has found that most unconventional feed ingredients have higher buffer capacity than conventional ones. Excessively high buffer capacity can reduce enzyme secretion, leading not only to decreased nutrient absorption but also creating favorable conditions for the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. AcidLiuLiu® 5000 utilizes synergistic effects among multiple acids to lower feed buffer capacity and enhance the absorption of nutrients such as protein, calcium, and phosphorus.
Suanliuli® 5000 improves the apparent utilization of multiple nutrients in feed.

Empirical Evidence 3: Stabilizes water activity, maintaining consistent quality
Feed pellets with too little moisture are smooth and hard, reducing palatability and decreasing feed intake in livestock and poultry; while pellets with excessive moisture have good durability and palatability, they carry a higher risk of mold growth. Acid-Liu-Liu® 5000 inhibits mold proliferation by lowering water activity. It suppresses mold growth while maintaining palatability and pellet quality, ensuring superior feed quality.

Note: The higher the water activity value, the more readily molds and various other bacteria can proliferate, leading to spoilage of feed.
Suanliuliu® 5000 effectively inhibits mold growth.
