Can feed grade calcium formate be used as an acidifier in the diet of young animals?

 The acidic environment is conducive to the growth of beneficial bacteria, but not conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria. Feed grade calcium formate as an acidifier is a type of additive mainly used in the diet of young animals to adjust the environment in the digestive tract. That is, it is added to feed to supplement the insufficient secretion of gastric juice of young animals and reduce the pH value in the stomach. Today we introduce the mechanism of feed grade calcium formate in the diet of young animals.


Feed grade calcium formate as an acidifier is a type of additive that has been researched and developed in recent years and is mainly used in diets for young animals to adjust the internal environment of the digestive tract. It refers to a class of substances added to feed to supplement the insufficient secretion of gastric juice in young animals and lower the pH value in the stomach. It is a high-quality organic calcium acid.


The mechanism of action of feed grade calcium formate:

The research and development of feed grade calcium formate as an acidulant is mainly based on the low intragastric pH (about 2), which is not only an activator of pepsin and a necessary condition for maintaining high activity, but also contributes to the softening and nutrient of feed It can dissolve and hydrolyze, and it also plays a barrier role to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from entering the body through the digestive tract.


Early weaned piglets not only reduce the digestibility of feed nutrients and incomplete digestion of non-milk nutrients, but also provide sufficient substrate for the rapid reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms entering the hindgut, resulting in diarrhea, decreased production performance, and increased mortality.


Feed grade calcium formate, especially in young animals with little gastric acid secretion, this barrier function is weak, coupled with imperfect immune function, is one of the important factors leading to diarrhea, diarrhea, and high incidence.


The role of feed grade calcium formate:

Adding feed grade calcium formate as an acidifier to the supplementary diets for young animals or weaning diets can supplement the lack of gastric acid secretion and make the stomach acidified earlier, thereby improving feed digestibility, reducing the invasion and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, and reducing young animals. Livestock diarrhea and diarrhea can improve production performance and reduce mortality.


In addition, a lower pH in the stomach can reduce the emptying speed of stomach contents, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Feed grade calcium formate is an organic acidifier and can also be used as an energy source for animals. The small molecule formic acid contained therein promotes the absorption of mineral elements in the form of a complexing agent, and can also act as a flavoring agent to promote feeding by young animals.


Research on the effect of acidifier addition shows that different diets, different additives, and different management conditions show inconsistent results. With the restricted use of antibiotics, the incidence of intestinal diseases such as poultry and livestock diarrhea may increase. Green, high-efficiency additives or combinations of additives such as feed grade calcium formate are of great significance.

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
