In 2003 benzoic acid has been approved by the
EU (EFSA 2007) as a feed additive for growing-finishing
pigs at the inclusion levels of 0.5-1.0% and has
been included into group M. Due to its metabolic pattern
and antibacterial activity in the gut of pigs, it
enhances growth performance. The use of benzoic
acid in pig feed resulted in multiple beneficial effects
on growth performance of pigs (Maribo et al. 2000,
Kluge et al. 2006, Torrallardona et al. 2007, Bu¨hler et
al. 2009) and displayed an important antibacterial activity
in gastrointestinal microbial control, especially
against coliforms (Knarreborg et al. 2002, Kluge et al.
2006, Piva and Grilli 2007, Øverland et al. 2007). Such
antimicrobial activity may be of interest to reduce diarrhoea
incidence of piglets after weaning (Gheler et
al. 2009). Furthermore, studies reported that the use
of mixed acids was giving generally better results than
to single acids apparently due to dissociation properties
of these acids at various locations in the pig’s digestive
tract (Hardy 2002, Franco et al. 2005).

Pada tahun 2003 asam benzoat telah disetujui oleh
Uni Eropa (EFSA 2007) sebagai aditif pakan untuk tumbuh-menyelesaikan
babi di tingkat masuknya 0,5-1,0% dan telah
dimasukkan ke dalam kelompok M. Karena pola metabolik
dan aktivitas antibakteri dalam usus babi, itu
meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan. Penggunaan benzoat
asam dalam pakan babi mengakibatkan beberapa efek menguntungkan
pada kinerja pertumbuhan babi (Maribo et al. 2000,
Kluge et al. 2006, Torrallardona et al. 2007, Buhler et
al. 2009) dan ditampilkan antibakteri penting Kegiatan
dalam kontrol mikroba pencernaan, terutama
terhadap coliform (Knarreborg et al. 2002, Kluge et al.
2006, Piva dan Grilli 2007, Overland et al. 2007). Seperti
aktivitas antimikroba mungkin menarik untuk mengurangi diare
kejadian babi setelah penyapihan (Gheler et
al. 2009). Selanjutnya, penelitian melaporkan bahwa penggunaan
asam campuran itu memberikan hasil yang umumnya lebih baik daripada
asam tunggal tampaknya karena sifat disosiasi
asam ini di berbagai lokasi di pencernaan babi
saluran (Hardy 2002, Franco et al. 2005).
