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.

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
