Feed grade calcium formate for pigs, allowing you to experience high-quality calcium supplementation effects

Calcium supplementation is also a very important thing for pig farmers. The growth performance of pigs also needs to supplement various trace elements, especially calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine and other elements that pigs are easy to lack. Pigs are not blindly adding calcium-rich feed when supplementing calcium. Appropriate methods and suitable additives are also needed to help absorb more calcium and achieve the effect of calcium supplementation. There are many feed sources commonly used to supplement calcium for pigs. Is the effect of feed-grade calcium formate better?

1. Lime powder
Lime powder is a kind of natural calcium carbonate, which can be obtained from natural limestone. Of course, the premise is to ensure that harmful elements such as lead, fluorine, arsenic, and mercury do not exceed the standard. Lime powder has the advantages of high calcium content, low price, and wide access channels. Generally, the calcium content can reach about 35%. Pig farmers can add 2% to the fattening pig feed, 1%-1.5% to the piglet feed, and 2%-3% lime powder to the breeding pig feed.

2. Shell powder
Shell powder is the calcium supplement made by crushing the shells of shellfish such as oysters. Shell powder is generally gray or off-white powder, its main component is calcium carbonate, and the calcium content is generally between 24%-36%. A better shell powder has a calcium content close to the lime powder mentioned above. Pig farmers should be careful that shell powder is often mixed with more sand.

3. Eggshell powder
The calcium supplement product made by crushing fresh eggshell is eggshell powder. Its calcium content is similar to the aforementioned shell powder, and the main ingredient is also calcium carbonate. However, in addition to calcium, eggshell powder also contains relatively rich crude protein. Pig farmers need to pay attention to disinfection when using eggshell powder to avoid protein spoilage.

4. Calcium carbonate
High-quality limestone products have high calcium content and are generally off-white or white odorless powder. Calcium carbonate is one of the preferred calcium supplements for pig farmers, because its calcium content can often be as high as 38%.

5. Plaster
Gypsum is a crystalline powder, mostly gray or off-white in color. Its main component is calcium sulfate, and the calcium content is usually between 20% and 30%. Chicken farmers need to pay attention to that the common gypsum on the market includes crushed products of natural gypsum and by-products of phosphoric acid manufacturing. The latter has a high content of fluorine elements and should be used with caution.

6.Calcium formate
Adding calcium formate to the feed will release a small amount of formic acid in the animal body, which will reduce the PH value of the gastrointestinal tract, and has a buffering effect, which is conducive to the stability of the PH value in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of harmful bacteria and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms For example, the growth of Lactobacillus can cover the intestinal mucosa from the invasion of toxins, so as to control and prevent bacteria-related diarrhea, diarrhea and other phenomena. The addition amount is generally 1 to 1.5%. Calcium formate contains more than 30% of calcium, which belongs to organic acid calcium that can replace inorganic calcium such as stone powder 1:1, and will not increase the burden of pig intestines.

The ability of pigs to absorb calcium depends on the concentration of carbohydrates in the digestive tract. Cholic acid and calcium easily form a soluble complex to promote calcium absorption. Vitamin D also promotes the absorption and utilization of calcium in feed. The cellulose and protein in the diet also affect the absorption of calcium.

Therefore, the most common source of feed additives for pigs in the pig industry is calcium formate. Calcium formate can reduce the acidity of the feed system, adjust the PH value of the gastrointestinal tract, small molecular organic acids, and have better bactericidal and antibacterial effects. Improve pepsin activity. Calcium formate can also promote the absorption of phosphorus and stabilize the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body.

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3.
