    Animal feed additive effective as broad-spectrum preservative FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention refers to an animal feed additive effective as broad-spectrum preservative, said animal feed additive comprises as active ingredients propionic acid, glyceryl propionates, hexanoic acid and optionally minor amounts of an alkali metal salt and/or a medium chain fatty acid of chain length C7-C12.
    The present invention also refers to the use of said animal feed additive as a mould and/or yeast inhibitor and to the use of said animal feed additive as an inhibitor of aerobic bacteria.
    In a further aspect, the present invention refers to the use of said animal feed additive to protect an animal feed from aerobic deterioration.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Feed preservation is the process of treating and handling feed to stop or greatly slow down spoilage caused by micro-organisms. Micro-organisms like moulds, bacteria and yeast can be toxin-producing and infectious to both animals and humans. Their proliferation in feedstuffs also leads to losses in the nutritive value or palatability of the feed. Health and well-being both for animals and humans as well as economic reasons has driven the development of methods for inhibition of these harmful organisms.
    Preservation involves preventing the growth of bacteria, mold and yeast. Common methods for feed preservation include drying (grain, hay), anaerobic storage (silage) and adding chemical preservatives (grain, wet by-products, silages with low or high dry matter content, etc.).
    Propionic acid is today widely used as an effective and well proven preservative in animal feedstuffs. However, there are certain problems associated with the use of propionic acid. Since it is corrosive to skin and metals and has a flash point of less than 55°C, it is classified to be labelled as corrosive and flammable, thus limiting the possibility for end-users to store and transport the material. Swedish patent no. SE535688 presents a solution to this problem, since it discloses an animal feed additive based on a mixture of glyceryl propionates and propionic acid. This mixture does not have the negative properties associated with pure propionic aid, making said classification redundant, while preserving properties, such as mould inhibition, are essentially the same as for pure propionic acid.
    Although mould growth in the feed is proven to be efficiently inhibited by the feed additive disclosed in Swedish patent no. SE535688, later studies have revealed a new composition that shows improved, broad-spectrum preservative properties on animal feeds. The present invention has revealed a composition comprising glyceryl propionates, propionic acid and hexanoic acid. This composition has proven to be even more efficient than pure propionic acid when it comes to keeping down the overall aerobic microbial activity in animal feed.
    The invention is further described together with the enclosed drawings, wherein, — Figure 1 illustrates a typical experiment measuring carbon dioxide levels in two feed samples: treated with a preservative and untreated. — Figure 2 shows the carbon dioxide levels for each sample over time, during the experiment described in Example 1. — Figure 3 shows the mean values of the time to reach the 10% carbon dioxide level for each sample, in the experiment described in Example 1.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Different kinds of feed often require different kinds of feed preservation; a method that is useful when preserving hay may not be very useful when preserving for example legumes. Due to the different micro environments in different feeds (water content, pH, availability of nutrients etc.), there is a natural variation in the microbial flora between different kinds of feed. The microbial flora in particular feeds may also vary during the season.
    The present invention refers to an animal feed additive effective as broad-spectrum preservative. "Broad-spectrum preservative" is to be understood as a preservative protecting feed from spoilage caused by different kinds of microorganisms, such as different kinds of yeasts, moulds and bacteria. By being effective as a broad-spectrum preservative, the animal feed additive according to the present invention can provide a preservative that is effective in different kinds of feed and over the whole season.
    Said animal feed additive comprises 15-80% by weight of propionic acid, 10-70% by weight of glyceryl propionates, 5-40% by weight of hexanoic acid, balance to 100% by weight being water.
    According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the animal feed additive comprises 8-25% by weight of hexanoic acid.
    According to a still more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the animal feed additive comprises 10-20% by weight of hexanoic acid.
    The preferred concentration-intervals of hexanoic acid stated above considers both having the best preservative effect of the animal feed additive according to the present invention, but also keeping the cost of the animal feed additive at an acceptable level. Since the price of hexanoic acid is higher than the price of propionic acid, it is preferable not to add more hexanoic acid than necessary.
    However, in cases where cost is not an important consideration, the animal feed additive according to the present invention preferably comprises 15-30% by weight, or even 20-35% by weight of hexanoic acid.
    The glycerol content in the animal feed additive according to the present invention is typically rather low, preferably less than 4% by weight. Optionally, the animal feed additive comprises 0.5-5% by weight of an alkali metal salt, preferably a formate, such as potassium or sodium formate. Said animal feed additive may also optionally comprise 0.5-10% by weight of another medium chain fatty acid of chain length C7-C12; preferably said optional medium chain fatty acid is octanoic acid.
    The animal feed additive is balanced to 100% by weight with water, such as reaction water and water emanating from the water content of the used raw materials.
    Said glyceryl propionates are present as a mixture of mono-, di- and tripropionates in a ratio of 30-50% by weight of glyceryl monopropionate, 40-60% by weight of glyceryl dipropionate and 5-20% by weight of glyceryl tripropionate, balance being 100% by weight.
    Aerobic deterioration of the feed is a problem both in TMR (Total mixed ration) and also in silage, after opening of the silo. Yeasts are the organisms that primarily initiate aerobic deterioration in feeds. Carbon dioxide produced by yeast fermentation leads to a net loss of dry matter and a corresponding reduction in nutritive value. This will also decrease the palatability of the feed, causing a reduced feed intake. Yeasts and acetic acid bacteria, which are capable of rapid growth in the presence of oxygen, are considered the primary initiators of aerobic spoilage.
    Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and therefore, aerobic microbial activity in a feed sample can be measured experimentally by measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide. The overall aerobic microbial activity can be easily visualized in a graph showing how the carbon dioxide concentration varies with time in a sample. The quicker the CCh-level rises in a sample, the faster is the evolution of aerobic microorganisms in the sample and the greater is the risk that the feed is deteriorated by microorganisms. Figure 1 illustrates a typical experiment measuring carbon dioxide levels in two feed samples: treated with a preservative and untreated.
    As can be seen in Figure 1, the CCh-level rises much faster in the untreated sample than in the treated, indicating a faster increase of aerobic microbial activity.
    The animal feed additive according to the present invention is effective both as a mould inhibitor, as a yeast inhibitor and as an inhibitor of aerobic bacteria, and it thereby has a broader protection scope compared to many of the preservatives used today.
    In one embodiment the present invention refers to the use of said animal feed additive as a mould- and/or yeast inhibitor.
    In another embodiment, the present invention refers to the use of said animal feed additive as an inhibitor of lactate assimilating yeast.
    The present invention also refers to the use of said animal feed additive as an inhibitor of aerobic bacteria and in particular of acetic acid bacteria.
    Ina further perspective, the present invention refers to the use of said animal feed additive to protect an animal feed from aerobic deterioration.
    Mould and yeast growth is a common problem especially in processed feeds like grains, legumes, oilseeds and/or food byproducts, which are feedstuffs with relatively high water content. These kinds of feeds are especially well preserved against aerobic deterioration, yeasts, moulds and bacteria with the feed additive according to the present invention. However, also unprocessed feeds are well preserved with the animal feed additive according to the present invention.
    Typically, the animal feed additive according to the present invention is added to the feed at a concentration of between 0.01 to 2.0 % by weight.
    The present invention is illustrated in the below Embodiment Example, which is to be construed as merely illustrative and not limiting in any way.
    EMBODIMENT EXAMPLE Example 1: Aerobic microbial activity in whole ground wheat treated with different feed additives Samples of lOOg whole grain milled wheat, with a water content of 18% by weight, were treated at a dosage of 0.05% by weight with different feed additives according to Table 1 below.
    Image available on "Original document" ProSid™MI700 is a commercial feed additive from Perstorp AB, comprising 60-70% propionic acid and 20-30% glycerol propionates (glyceryl mono-, di- and tripropionates).
    The treated wheat samples were each put in a 1 liter shake flask equipped with a carbon dioxide sensor. All treatments were prepared in three replicates. During a period of 287 hours the individual carbon dioxide levels were measured every 30 minutes. The obtained carbon dioxide levels are a straight receipt of aerobic microbial activity, and in particular of yeast activity.
    The carbon dioxide levels during the experiment are shown in Figure 2.
    Analysis of the time required to reach a 10 % carbon dioxide level in Example 1 The time required to reach a carbon dioxide level of 10% was noted for each replicate and a mean value was calculated for each of the samples 1-6. The 10% carbon dioxide level is marked in Figure 1 and the mean values of the time to reach this CCh-level are shown in Figure 3.
    As can be seen both in Figure 2 and in Figure 3, the evolution of carbon dioxide is slowest in the samples treated with the animal feed additive according to the present invention. Comparing the curves in Figure 2, it is clear that the feed additive according to the present invention (ProSid™ MI 700 + 20% hexanoic acid and ProSid™ MI 700 + 30% hexanoic acid) performs better than what could be expected from looking at the individual curves for ProSid™ MI 700 and hexanoic acid respectively. The components of the feed additive according to the present invention acts together in a synergistic way, resulting in an unexpectedly high preservative effect.
