Antimicrobial Activity of a Citric Acid–Phenolic Formulation in Animal Feed Matrices

Table 2_Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of a citric acid–phenolic formulation in animal feed matrices.docx is a dataset by David Díez Arias, last updated on 2026-05-04. It contains results from a study evaluating the antimicrobial efficacy of a natural preservative formulation against bacterial and fungal pathogens in compound feed and ground corn. The data includes microbial reduction measurements at 24 hours and 7 days for a standardized contamination level.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of a natural preservative against a commercial benchmark based on microbial reduction data.
• Model the effect of treatment and storage time on pathogen populations using linear mixed-effects modeling as described.
• Assess the performance of citric acid–monoterpene formulations across different feed matrices mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled study with a standardized contamination level of 10^6 CFU/g.
• Results compare two treatments (AMNL at 0.5 L/ton and a benchmark at 2 L/ton) across six microbial species.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 16.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
