The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effects of benzoic acid and
sodium benzoate in feeds on digesta pH, urinary pH, and growth performance for nursery …

Supplementation of benzoic acid to pig diets reduces the pH of urine and may thereby affect
emissions of ammonia and other gases from slurry, including sulfur‐containing compounds …

The objective of this study was to investigate the supplemental effects of the combination of
benzoic acid and essential oils (BE) in nursery pigs. In Exp. 1, there were 5 dietary …

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of benzoic acid on the growth
performance of nursery and grower-finisher pigs. A randomized complete block design was …

Background: Longitudinal diet assessment data in children suggest bone anabolic effects of
protein intake and concurrent catabolic effects of dietary acid load. However, studies using …
