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.

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
