- Product Description
Feed Grade Potassium Acetate – Premium Nutritional Supplement for Animal Health & Performance
Shanxi Zhaoyi Chemical Co., Ltd. is a professional acetate manufacturer with decades of industrial experience since 1988. Operating from a standardized 27,000 m² production facility with a stable annual acetate output of 150,000 tons, we specialize in supplying high-standard feed additives for global animal nutrition enterprises. Our Feed Grade Potassium Acetate (CAS 127-08-2, Chemical Formula: CH₃COOK) is a high-purity white crystalline powder with a minimum purity of 99.0%. Manufactured in full compliance with international feed safety regulations and certified by ISO, KOSHER and HALAL, this premium feed ingredient features excellent bioavailability, serving as both a high-efficiency potassium supplement and a reliable pH buffering agent. It effectively makes up for nutritional deficiencies in intensive livestock and aquaculture breeding, and has been steadily exported to more than 60 countries and regions worldwide with stable and reliable quality.

Key Features & Benefits
Our this product is professionally formulated for modern intensive breeding scenarios, solving common problems such as unbalanced animal nutrition, poor stress resistance and unstable feed formula effect in conventional breeding:
Excellent Water Solubility & Wide Compatibility: The product boasts water solubility, which can be quickly and completely dissolved in water. It can be perfectly compatible with various feed premixes and liquid feed systems without precipitation or stratification, facilitating flexible formula deployment and industrial feeding operations.
Uniform Particle & Stable Feeding Effect: With standardized crystalline structure and uniform particle size distribution, it can be evenly mixed in full-price compound feed. It ensures consistent nutrient intake for every livestock and poultry individual, effectively reducing individual growth differences and stabilizing overall breeding benefits.
Nutrient Supply and pH Buffering in One Additive: Two jobs come with this feed additive. Animals get potassium they can take in and use for growth. pH stays level, too. Rumen health is protected in ruminants. In monogastric animals, electrolyte levels stay in balance. Stress damage often starts with hot weather or heavy production. This additive cuts that damage down.

How It Works
Feed Grade Potassium Acetate feeds the animal and steadies how its body works, so it acts on two fronts. Fast dissociation and metabolic pathways drive both. Breeding animals differ in how they digest feed and how fast they grow, and this product fits them all:
Fast Electrolyte Support: In the wet tract of the gut it breaks down fast. Out come active potassium ions. Nerve signals and muscle movement rely on them. Normal body function and metabolic balance stay in place because of that.
Acid-Base Buffer for Metabolism: The liver takes acetate anions apart and turns them into bicarbonate. That bicarbonate cancels out acid made during metabolism. The body's acid-base environment gets better. Stress resistance in animals gets a boost, too.
Targeted Regulation for Different Breeds: Heat stress in poultry throws electrolyte balance off. This additive helps set it straight again. Fewer birds die in summer. Piglets keep a steadier gut pH through weaning. That helps the feed conversion rate. Rumen microbes in ruminants keep fermenting at a stable pace. Diets with a lot of concentrate are less likely to set off subacute ruminal acidosis. Milk production stays steady as well.
Applications
This feed additive is efficient, and you can use it in livestock, poultry, aquaculture and equine breeding. Dosage schemes for each situation are mature and backed by science:
Dairy Cattle Breeding: Mix it into total mixed rations at a dose of 0.5%-1.2%. At that dose, milk fever is prevented during peak lactation. The cows keep milking steadily, too.
Poultry Feeding: Use it in broiler and layer feed. The inclusion rate is 0.3%-0.8%. Eggshell quality gets better. In summer, fewer birds die from heat stress. The flock also becomes more even.
Swine Production: Put it in piglet starter feed and finishing pig feed. The rate is 0.4%-1.0%. It eases weaning stress. Digestion and absorption in the gut stay steady. Feed efficiency goes up a lot.
Aquaculture & Equine Breeding: In shrimp and fish feed, it helps control osmotic pressure. Survival rates go up. For horses, it works as an electrolyte replacement. Use it in performance nutrition after training and competition.

Certifications & Compliance
Our entire production system strictly follows the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standards, with standardized control covering raw material procurement, production processing and finished product testing. Equipped with KOSHER and HALAL global certification qualifications, our products can adapt to diverse market access requirements. Every batch of products undergoes strict testing on heavy metals, arsenic and microbial indicators. We provide complete supporting documents such as CoA certificates and MSDS reports, fully complying with EU 767/2009 feed regulations and FDA feed additive guidelines to ensure safe and compliant use in global breeding industries.

Packaging Options
We cover many packaging needs in the feed industry. Safe transport, stable storage, and easy handling all matter:
25kg Standard Bags: A PE lining sits inside to block damp, and an outer woven bag wraps it up. Moisture and impurities stay out. Small and medium-sized feed factories use them for regular batch formulas, along with breeding farms.
1000kg Jumbo Bags: Large-tonnage bulk packaging, reducing manual handling times and packaging costs. It is the preferred solution for large-scale commercial feed mills with automated production lines.
Custom Packaging: We support customized packaging specifications and sealing methods, which can be matched with intelligent warehouse management and automated batching systems to meet personalized production needs of customers.

Manufacturing Process
Certified suppliers provide our raw materials. The acetic acid and potassium hydroxide we pick are food-grade, and both are high purity. That way safety and compliance are taken care of at the source. Neutralization synthesis runs inside sealed stainless steel reactors. Temperature and pH are tracked in real time. The reaction stays complete and steady because of it.
Evaporative concentration comes first. Crystallization follows it. From that step you get crystal particles of even size. Several stages of precision filtration take out trace impurities. When it comes to moisture, vacuum drying holds the level steady below 2.0%.
Once the product is finished, it gets milled fine and screened so the particle size stays even. Manual cross-contamination is not a risk, because the packaging line runs fully automated. In high-humidity areas, shelf life can be stretched with nitrogen-filled sealing, which is optional.

FAQ
Q: How much dairy cattle feed should you give?
A: A1: A typical rate is 0.5% to 1.2% of dry matter intake. That number is not fixed. The potassium level in the base ration can shift it. So can the lactation stage of the cow.
Q: Is this product applicable for organic feed production?
A: A2: International feed safety rules apply to this product. What organic certifiers accept, though, varies from one to the next. Check with your local certification body first.
Q: How should the product be stored so it stays in good condition?
A: A3: Put the sealed product in a cool, dry spot under 30°C. Moisture is the enemy here. Too much of it and the powder cakes. Reprocessing does not harm the chemical properties.
Q: Can it completely replace potassium chloride in feed formulas?
A: A4: Yes, it can be used as a full replacement for potassium chloride. Our technical team can provide professional dosage conversion formulas according to molecular weight differences to ensure stable formula effect.
Q: Under standard storage conditions, how long does the product keep?
A: A5: Store the product in the sealed original pack. Keep moisture and direct sun away from it. Quality stays stable that way, and the shelf life reaches up to 24 months.
