Feed Grade Sodium Diacetate
Feed grade sodium diacetate is a cost-effective mold inhibitor for animal feed and silage applications. It helps reduce mold growth during storage while maintaining stable quality for feed mills and premix manufacturers.

Feed Grade Sodium Diacetate
Feed grade sodium diacetate is a dual-component mold inhibitor compliant with China’s feed additive standard NY/T 1421-2007, designed for animal feed preservation. It slowly releases acetic acid to suppress common molds such as Aspergillus and Penicillium, while providing mild pH buffering.
This makes it a cost-effective mold control solution for feed mills, premix manufacturers, and livestock operations requiring stable bulk storage performance. Compared to food grade, it aligns heavy metal limits with animal nutrition requirements, reducing costs while maintaining effective inhibition.
Key Features
The ≤ 4.0% moisture specification prevents hygroscopic caking in humid warehouse conditions and supports smooth pneumatic conveying in premix plants. For certain silage and high-moisture feed preservation applications, granular sodium diacetate can help improve distribution on chopped forage and reduce mold development.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does feed grade sodium diacetate compare to calcium propionate?
Calcium propionate provides propionic acid and is widely used for feed preservation. Sodium diacetate offers acetic acid-based mold inhibition with a different preservation mechanism, integrating more cleanly into premix systems without introducing additional calcium ions into the feed formulation.
Should I choose granular or powder for my feed mill operation?
Granular form reduces dust generation during pneumatic conveying and rotary valve feeding, supporting high-speed batching. Powder form dissolves faster in liquid feed supplements but requires dust extraction infrastructure.
What are the storage conditions and typical shelf life?
Store in a cool, dry place with packaging tightly sealed. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity. Under proper storage conditions, the typical shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture.
What documents and MOQ are required for export orders?
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 1 metric ton. We provide full export documentation with every shipment, including COA, TDS, MSDS, and batch testing reports to ensure smooth customs clearance.
