Have you ever seen pigs fed with calcium formate as a feed additive?

 Nowadays, when feeding pigs, everyone cares about not only feed, but also feed additives. Nowadays, what makes many pig farmers troublesome is that the price is not proportional to the effect, and it is common to cause economic losses. To improve the utilization rate of feed, it is the most important thing to directly play a nutritional role on animals. So, have you ever seen pigs fed with calcium formate as a feed additive?


As a new type of feed additive, calcium formate can supplement calcium to pigs and is more suitable for weaning piglets. The nutritional effect of calcium formate is mainly achieved by the formic acid that is decomposed in the acid environment of the stomach. It mainly uses the following methods to improve the growth performance of weaned piglets:

1. Lowering the pH of the gastrointestinal tract is beneficial to activate pepsinogen, make up for the insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid in the piglet's stomach, and improve the digestibility of feed nutrients.

2. Maintain a low PH value in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing the mass growth and reproduction of E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria, while promoting the growth of some beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacilli). It produces volatile fatty acids in the caecum and nodus to act as antibiotics. In addition, beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus can cover the intestinal mucosa so that it is not invaded by the toxins produced by Escherichia coli, thereby preventing diarrhea related to bacterial infection.

3. It can act as a chelating agent during the digestion process. Calcium formate can promote the absorption of minerals in the intestines, increase the energy utilization of natural metabolites, increase feed conversion rate, prevent diarrhea and diarrhea, and increase piglet survival rate and daily weight gain. At the same time, calcium formate also has the effect of preventing mildew and keeping fresh.


Experiments have shown that adding 0.8~1.5% calcium formate to feed can cover the intestinal mucosa from the invasion of toxins, and control and prevent bacteria-related diarrhea and diarrhea.


Not only that, calcium formate also has a growth-promoting effect. A German study found that adding 1.3% of calcium formate to the piglet's diet can improve the feed conversion rate by 7-8%, adding 0.9% can reduce the occurrence of diarrhea; adding 1.5% can improve the growth rate of piglets by 1.2%, and the feed conversion rate 4 %; adding 1.5% and 175mg/kg copper can increase the growth rate by 21% and the feed conversion rate by 10%.


Therefore, the use of calcium formate as a feed additive for pigs can have the advantages of good digestion, good absorption, and good utilization, and does not require the participation of gastric acid, reducing the use of acidifiers. This reduces the cost of feed.

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. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
