Formic acid can also be used as acidifier for poultry feed

At present, acidifier has been widely used in piglet feed, poultry feed, silage and other fields as an effective, pollution-free and residue-free feed additive. Formic acid can greatly improve the function of feed. It can not only reduce the pH value of gastrointestinal tract, but also have good bacteriostasis and bactericidal effect.

Formic acid (chemical formula HCOOH, molecular formula CH2O2, molecular weight 46.03), commonly known as formic acid, is a simple carboxylic acid. A colorless, irritating liquid. Weak electrolyte, melting point 8.6°C, boiling point 100.8°C. It is very acidic and corrosive and can stimulate skin blistering. It is found in the secretions of bees, certain ants and caterpillars. It is an organic chemical raw material and also used as a disinfectant and preservative. 

Many mechanisms of action of feed acidifier are due to its acidification effect, that is, by reducing the pH value of digestive tract, some related factors affecting animal growth and production can play a good role. Formic acid is a kind of green feed additive with high efficiency, safety, no residue, no environmental pollution, no teratogenicity, rapid absorption in vivo, and participation in metabolism.

Formic acid is a kind of substance that can improve feed acidity (reduce PH value). Especially young animals, because of their poor digestive function, inadequate secretion of digestive alcohol, and imperfect immune function, the incidence of diarrhea, dysentery and other diseases is high; and lower H value in the stomach activates pepsin and keeps it active, which helps to soften feed, dissolve and hydrolyze nutrients, and also prevents pathogenic microorganisms from passing through. The barrier function of digestive tract entering the body.

According to the latest regulations, the addition of formic acid to pig and poultry feed will reduce the effect of pH, adding no more than 1.2% of feed products. Formic acid belongs to preservatives, fungicides and Acidity Regulators in the Catalogue of Varieties of Feed Additives announced by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China No. 2045.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
