Formi, a non-antibiotic growth promoter of potassium diformate, improves growth performance and intestinal health in animals, ensuring consumers access to safer animal products. This is the first non-antibiotic growth promoter approved in the EU, addressing aged use of feed antibiotics in the livestock industry for the past 50 years. As feed antibiotics may lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the EU banned its use starting in 2006, causing the industry to seek safer alternatives. Formi has been proven to provide similar effects to traditional feed antibiotics. After rigorous testing under new EU safety guidelines, Formi has been confirmed to be safe for factory operators, the environment, animals, and consumers.
