The difference of feed grade calcium formate compared to calcium lactate and calcium citrate in feed

As feed grade calcium formate is widely used in feed addition, the gap between feed grade calcium formate and other calcium sources is clearly arranged. For example: What is the calcium content of feed grade calcium formate? There is a gap in the comparison of feed calcium formate in feed addition. Here we will list the differences between feed grade calcium formate, calcium lactate and calcium citrate in feed:

Feed grade calcium formate
The advantages are: it contains 31% calcium, high utilization rate of livestock and poultry, and neutral pH value. And low moisture content, good water solubility and neutral. Mixing calcium formate into the additive premix will not cause vitamin loss, and under the action of stomach acid, free formic acid can be separated, lowering the pH of the stomach, and improving the immune ability of the animal. Calcium formate has a high melting point and can only decompose above 400°C, and will not be damaged during the granulation process.

Calcium lactate
Its advantages are easy to dissolve, fast dissolution rate, high utilization rate of livestock and poultry, and good taste; the disadvantage is low calcium content. Such preparations are: calcium lactate, containing 13% calcium. Calcium gluconate, which contains 9% calcium, needs to be controlled at 0.58% to 0.8% of the calcium level in the diet. Too much consumption is required, which is difficult to accept for the cost of feed.

Calcium Citrate 
Advantages: Feed grade calcium citrate is soluble in water and can be added as a fortifier for high-end feed. Its role is to allow animals in the lactation period to supplement calcium and bring calcium sources to the animals, which can be used as ornamental fish, dog food and other high-end feed calcium sources. The disadvantage is that the price is high. 

In the production process of feed, compared with other acidulants, the feed grade calcium formate produced by Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will not deliquesce, have good fluidity, and a neutral PH value will not cause equipment corrosion. Directly added to the feed, it can also prevent nutrients such as vitamins and amino acids from being destroyed. It is an ideal feed acidifier.
