The invention relates to a drinking type 
acidulant and a preparation method and application thereof. Each 100ml of the 
acidulant contains components of 15-25ml of 
formic acid, 25-35ml of 
lactic acid,15-25g of 
citric acid, 5-15g of 
fumaric acid, 1-8g of 
calcium formate, 1-8g of 
sodium butyrate and the balance deionized water, wherein all of the components are 100ml. The preparation method comprises the following steps of performing injection according to the amount of 50-80% of the total amount of water to a stirring tank, starting a power supply, performing stirring at 120r / min, slowly addingthe 
fumaric acid, then adding the 
calcium formate and the 
sodium butyrate, performing stirring for 15min, after the 
fumaric acid, the 
calcium formate and the 
sodium butyrate sufficiently dissolve inthe water, slowly adding the 
citric acid, the 
lactic acid and the 
formic acid separately, and finally, adding the remaining water for uniform stirring so as to obtain products. Compared with the priorart, the drinking type 
acidulant contains various 
organic acid and 
organic acid salts, can regulate the acid of a ration 
system, can reduce the pH value of the digestive tracts of animals, can improve the activity of digestive enzymes, can promote the 
digestion of 
nutrient substances, can effectively control diarrhoea of piggies at the 
weaning and 
child care period, can regulate the intestinal 
microecology balanced, and can promote growth of the piggies at the 
weaning and 
child care period. Besides, when the drinking type acidulant is drunk, growth and propagation of pathogenic microorganismsin animal organisms, feeds and environment can be greatly reduced, and the usage amount of 
antibiotics can be directly reduced, so that 
drug tolerance, remaining and 
pollution problems caused by 
antibiotics can be reduced.
