Eastman™ ProGIT LF1 has a preservative effect and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria in the feed and improves the quality and shelf live.

Lactic acid, in addition to its antimicrobial property due to the lowering of the pH, also has functions as a permeabilizer of the bacterial membrane which potentates the effects of other organic acids.

Moreover, the acids in Eastman™ ProGIT LF1 lower the Acid Binding Capacity (ABC) of the feed and, indirectly, may lead to a better natural acidification in the stomach and reduce the stomach pH.
