Kei te piki haere te arotakenga me te whakahē a te marea mō te whakamahinga o ngā paturopi hei whakatairanga i te tipu o ngā kararehe. Ko te whanaketanga o te ātete o ngā huakita ki ngā paturopi me te ātete whakawhiti o ngā mate tangata me ngā kararehe e pā ana ki te whakamahinga kore-rongoā me/ranei te whakamahinga hē o ngā paturopi koia ngā āwangawanga matua.

I ngā whenua o te EU, kua aukatia te whakamahinga o ngā paturopi hei whakanui ake i te whakaputanga kararehe. I te US, i whakaaetia e te Whare o ngā Māngai kaupapa here a te American Association tētahi whakataunga i tana hui ā-tau i te marama o Hune e akiaki ana kia whakamutua, kia whakakorea rānei te whakamahinga "kore-rongoa" o ngā paturopi i roto i ngā kararehe. E pā ana te ture ki ngā paturopi e hoatu ana ki te tangata. E hiahia ana kia whakamutua e te kāwanatanga te whakamahinga nui rawa o ngā paturopi i roto i ngā kararehe, kia whānui ake ai te kaupapa a te whakahaere ki te aukati i te ātete o te tangata ki ngā rongoā whakaora. Kei raro i te arotake a te kāwanatanga te whakamahinga o ngā paturopi i roto i te whakaputanga kararehe, ā, kei te whanakehia ngā mahi hei whakahaere i te ātete rongoā. I Kanata, kei raro i te arotake a Health Canada te whakamahinga o Carbadox i tēnei wā, ā, kei te tūtaki pea ki tētahi aukati. Nō reira, e mārama ana ka nui haere te herea o te whakamahinga o ngā paturopi i roto i te whakaputanga kararehe, ā, me rangahau me te whakamahi i ngā huarahi kē atu hei whakakapi i ngā kaiwhakatairanga tipu paturopi.

Nō reira, kei te haere tonu ngā rangahau hei ako i ngā huarahi kē atu hei whakakapi i ngā paturopi. Ko ngā huarahi kē atu kei te akohia mai i ngā otaota, ngā probiotics, ngā prebiotics me ngā waikawa waro ki ngā tāpiringa matū me ngā taputapu whakahaere. He maha ngā rangahau kua whakaatu he whai hua te waikawa formic ki ngā huakita pathogenic. Heoi, i roto i te mahi, nā ngā raruraru o te whakahaere, te kakara kaha me te waikura ki ngā taputapu tukatuka whāngai me te whāngai me te inu, he iti noa iho tōna whakamahinga. Hei whakakore i ngā raruraru, kua arohia te potassium diformate (K-diformate) hei huarahi kē atu i te waikawa formic nā te mea he māmā ake te whakahaere i te waikawa parakore, i te mea kua whakaatuhia he whai hua ki te whakarei ake i te tipu o ngā poaka e whāngai ana i te ū me ngā poaka whakatipu-whakaoti. I whakaatuhia e tētahi rangahau i mahia e ngā kairangahau i te Whare Wānanga Ahuwhenua o Nōwei (J. Anim. Sci. 2000. 78:1875-1884) ko te tāpiringa kai o te potassium diformate i ngā taumata 0.6-1.2% i whakapai ake i te tipu, te kounga o te tinana me te haumaru mīti i roto i ngā poaka whakatipu-whakaoti me te kore he pānga kino ki te kounga o te poaka rongo. I whakaaturia hoki he rerekē kipāhare pākawa diformate Kāore he pānga o te tāpiringa o te Ca/Na-formate ki te tipu me te kounga o te tinana.

I roto i tēnei rangahau, e toru ngā whakamātautau katoa i whakahaerehia. I roto i te whakamātautau tuatahi, e 72 ngā poaka (23.1 kg te taumaha tinana tuatahi me te 104.5 kg te taumaha tinana) i tohua ki ngā maimoatanga kai e toru (Mana Whakahaere, 0.85% Ca/Na-formate me te 0.85% pāhare pākawa-whakawhiti). I whakaatuhia e ngā hua i piki ake te pikinga o te toharite o ia rā (ADG) i te kai K-diformate engari kāore he pānga ki te toharite o te kai whāngai o ia rā (ADFI) me te ōwehenga pikinga/whāngai (G/F). Kāore te pāhare pākawa-whakawhiti, te Ca/Na-formate rānei i pāngia e te nui o te ngako, te kikokore rānei o te tinana.

I te whakamātautau tuarua, i whakamahia ngā poaka 10 (taumaha tuatahi: 24.3 kg, taumaha whakamutunga: 85.1 kg) hei ako i te pānga o te K-diformate ki te mahi me te kounga o te pā o te poaka. I whāngaihia ngā poaka katoa ki te tikanga whāngai iti, ā, i whāngaihia ki ngā kai ōrite engari ko te tāpiri i te 0.8% K-diformate ki te rōpū maimoatanga. I whakaatuhia e ngā hua ko te tāpiri i te K-diformate ki ngā kai ka whakanui ake i te ADG me te G/F, engari kāore he pānga ki te kounga o te pā o te poaka.

I te whakamātautau tuatoru, e 96 ngā poaka (taumaha tuatahi: 27.1 kg, taumaha whakamutunga: 105 kg) i tukuna ki ngā maimoatanga kai e toru, kei roto ko te 0, 0.6% me te 1.2% K-diformate, hei ako i te pānga o te tāpiringa.K-whakarerekētangai roto i ngā kai e pā ana ki te tipu, ngā āhuatanga o te tinana me te microflora o te ara kai. I whakaatuhia e ngā hua ko te tāpiritanga o te K-diformate i te taumata 0.6% me te 1.2% i whakapiki ake i te tipu, te whakaiti i te ihirangi ngako me te whakapai ake i te ōrau kikokore o te tinana. I kitea ko te tāpiri i te K-diformate i whakaiti i te maha o ngā coliform i roto i te ara kai o ngā poaka, nō reira, i whakapai ake i te haumaru o te poaka.
