Effectiveness of calcium formate in animal feed mold inhibitor

Since the beginning of summer, continuous rainstorm warning and flood disasters have occurred in many areas in the south, and the losses caused by continuous heavy rainfall are also very serious. All localities are actively and fully ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. Preventing and controlling Aspergillus flavus, which is harmful to feed, once again became the focus of the work that year. Today we will talk about the effectiveness of calcium formate in animal feed mold inhibitors.

It is understood that the optimal growth temperature for Aspergillus flavus is 25℃-30℃, and the optimal relative humidity is 80%-90%. There are many types of chemical antifungal agents added to feed, which can be divided into two categories: single and compound.

Unilateral such as propionate, formic acid and calcium formate, sorbic acid, citric acid, dimethyl maleate and allicin. These anti-mold additives have the effect of destroying or blocking pathogenic microorganisms, but they will not hinder the activities of normal beneficial flora and enzymes in the digestive tract. Some may also change the taste of feed and improve the palatability of feed.

The use of calcium formate is currently favored, and calcium formate additives have the effect of destroying or blocking pathogenic microorganisms. But it will not hinder the normal beneficial flora and enzyme activities in the digestive tract, and some can also change the taste of the feed and improve the palatability of the feed.

Calcium formate in feed significantly reduces the acidity of the feed system. The salts of organic acids containing formic acid are mainly used to improve processing performance and facilitate use. But the organic acid itself still plays a role. Organic acids can effectively inhibit the production of mold, reduce mold in feed, and effectively increase the absorption and transformation of feed by animals.

The effectiveness of calcium formate in animal feed antifungal agents is because calcium formate does not hinder the activities of normal beneficial flora and enzymes in the animal's digestive tract, but also changes the taste of the feed and enhances the palatability of the feed. It is suitable for all kinds of animal feed anti-mildew agent, and has the functions of preventing diarrhea and helping digestion and absorption.

Through the addition of calcium formate, which can play an anti-mold function, the feed can be prevented from moldy and rot, saving resources for feed storage, reducing energy consumption, and improving the conversion rate of feed.

It is not enough to use calcium formate to prevent mildew in the production of feed. When loading and transporting, it is necessary to ensure that there is no water or moisture in the car box. It is best to cover rainproof equipment such as canvas during transportation. One protects against rain, and the other protects against sunlight. When unloading the truck, please pay attention to put the top layer of feed or the bag that has been wetted or broken into the last pile, so that it can be used early.
