Calcium formate for pigs allows you to understand the nutritional characteristics and feed requirements of pigs

 The current market for pig prices is declining, and there is still enough profit margin for farmers alone, reducing the incidence of pig diseases, and also reducing the increase in pig raising costs. When it comes to the control of breeding costs, the use of high-quality feed additives such as calcium formate will give you a better understanding of the nutritional characteristics and feed requirements of pigs, which is also the key to reducing costs.


1. Nutrients needed for growth and development of pigs

The nutrients that pigs need are crude protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals (including macro and trace elements) and water. Under stocking conditions, pigs can obtain a small amount of minerals and vitamins by eating green fodder and mud, but in large-scale cement captivity, these nutrients must be obtained through feed except water. Usually use corn, soybean meal, bran and other "large materials", in the compound feed additive calcium formate as an acidifier, mixing calcium formate into the additive premix will not cause loss of vitamins, and can separate free under the action of gastric acid Formic acid reduces the pH of the stomach and improves the immunity of animals.


2. Principles of pig feed preparation

(1) Meet the nutritional needs of pigs and ensure nutritional balance: Pigs need to obtain heat, protein, minerals, vitamins and other ingredients from the feed. In recent years, the pig feed formula design has used theories of "available amino acid balance", "mineral balance", and "acid-base balance" to make the nutrition more reasonable and the formula more economical.

(2) Safety: First, it means that no moldy, degraded, or contaminated raw materials are used. For example, corn is easy to breed Aspergillus flavus and produce aflatoxin. The fluorine content of calcium hydrogen phosphate cannot exceed the standard. Cotton meal cannot be used in boar feed. The second is to not use drugs and additives that are easy to remain and are harmful to the human body, such as "Clenbuterol".

(3) Palatability: Good palatability is a problem that should be fully considered when preparing feed. In addition to ensuring the freshness of the feed ingredients, flavoring and flavoring agents can be added to the feed for suckling pigs and piglets.

(4) Economical: The most nutritious formula is not necessarily the most economical formula. The full price compound feed produced should be considered economical whether it is sold or used for personal use.


In summary, the feed additive calcium formate is very suitable for use as an acidifier, antifungal agent, and antibacterial agent in pig feed. It can replace citric acid, fumaric acid, etc. as a feed acidifier. Calcium formate can also reduce and adjust the gastrointestinal PH value, promote digestion and absorption of nutrients, and has the functions of disease prevention and health care.


The purpose of raising pigs is profit, and the cost of feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of raising pigs. Therefore, adding calcium formate allows you to better understand the nutritional characteristics and feed requirements of pigs, and the configuration of cost-effective compound feed is also an important way to improve the efficiency of pig raising.

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
