What are the functions of calcium formate feed additive?

 Calcium formate is a kind of feed additive with high safety, which has a positive effect on improving the growth performance of animals and increasing economic benefits. At the same time, calcium formate has a positive effect on improving survival rate, disease resistance rate and feed conversion rate. Do you know the functions of calcium formate feed additive?


1. Improve the palatability of feed

An appropriate amount of acid can improve the palatability of the diet and increase the feed intake of the piglets. Calcium formate contains organic small molecule formic acid. The use of calcium formate for early weaning piglets increases the weight gain rate by 5.1% and reduces the feed-to-meat ratio by 6.5%. Adding 1.5% to 2.0% calcium formate to the feed of growing piglets can increase appetite and speed up growth.


2. Lower the pH of the gastrointestinal tract and increase digestibility

Calcium formate is mainly used to reduce the pH value of the stomach contents of weaned piglets, and to maintain the pH value of the stomach contents relatively stable. It has the effect of improving digestive tract enzyme activity and nutrient digestibility, and can reduce the chance of infection by pathogenic microorganisms. The reproduction of pathogenic micro-organisms is inhibited, and probiotics reproduce.


3. Reduce diarrhea rate and relieve stress

The pH value of the piglet stomach is more than 4.2, and the pH of the piglet feed is in the range of 5.8~6.5. Excessively high pH value not only reduces the activity of pepsin, but also provides a suitable environment for the propagation and growth of pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella. Indigestion, diarrhea and slow growth.


Adding calcium formate to the piglet's diet can well regulate the pH of the gastrointestinal tract. Acidic conditions are conducive to the reproduction and growth of lactic acid bacteria and inhibit harmful microorganisms such as Escherichia coli. It can also exert cellular immune function, overcome the stress caused by weaning of weaned piglets, and reduce the incidence of piglet diarrhea. The use of organic acids to control pathogenic bacteria helps regulate the immune system's response.


4. Directly participate in the body's metabolism and increase the digestion and absorption of nutrients

Adding 1.5% to 2.0% calcium formate to piglet feed can increase piglet weight gain by 9% and feed utilization rate by 4.4%. The properties of acidulants combine with some mineral elements to form complexes that are easily absorbed and utilized. At the same time, in an acidic environment, it is also conducive to the absorption of vitamins (such as VA, VD).


Calcium formate is a highly effective and inexpensive mineral additive that can be widely used in animal production. The nutritional value is that the mineral additive can provide metabolism for animal growth to maintain the health of livestock and poultry. Choosing a strong manufacturer with stable and guaranteed quality such as Chuandong Chemical Group as feed additive will increase the conversion rate of more and better animal products, improve the feed processing technology, and prevent feed mildew.

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

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
