Generally fresh milk is not permitted for preservatives addition.
Preservatives are more commonly permitted in processed milk products like cheese, yogurt, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and powdered milk to extend their shelf life. Common examples of preservatives found in various dairy products include:
1) Natamycin.
2) sorbates
3) benzoates
4) nicin
5) Propionates

to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients and reduce feed costs and environmental impact.
Key Reasons for Using Enzymes in Animal Feed
- Break Down Anti-Nutritional Factors (ANFs): Many feed ingredients, especially grains like corn and soybeans, contain complex carbohydrates (like non-starch polysaccharides or NSPs) and other compounds (like phytate) that animals cannot easily digest on their own. Enzymes like phytase (to release phosphorus from phytate) and carbohydrases (to break down NSPs) help neutralize these ANFs.
- Increase Nutrient Availability: By breaking down complex molecules, enzymes ensure that more nutrients (amino acids, energy, and minerals) are released from the feed and can be absorbed by the animal. This leads to better feed efficiency and growth performance.
- Reduce Environmental Impact: Enzymes, particularly phytase, reduce the amount of indigestible phosphorus excreted in manure, which helps lower phosphorus pollution in water sources.
- Lower Feed Cost: Enzymes allow nutritionists to use less expensive feed ingredients or to formulate diets with lower overall nutrient specifications, leading to significant cost savings while maintaining animal performance.to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients and reduce feed costs and environmental impact.

Enzymes are used for better digestibility and there by the performance will improve. When we are using the cocktail enzymes, we should take the matrix values in the formula, so that the feed cost will be reduced. Some peoples are using the enzyme on top also without taking their matrix values in the formula.
