Abstract: Acidifier is a new type of green and environmentally friendly feed additive that is considered an effective alternative to antibiotics. Currently, the application of acidifiers in livestock and poultry farming has become increasingly mature, and its use in aquaculture has become more and more extensive in recent years. The research progress on the classification, mechanism and application of acidulants is reviewed, with a view to providing a certain reference for the substitution of acidulants for antibiotics and promoting the sustainable development of aquaculture.

Key words: acidifier, aquaculture, mechanism of action, feed, application progress
