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.

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
