Can calcium supplementation for piglets be replaced with organic feed grade calcium formate?

 Regarding the question of whether calcium supplementation for pigs can be replaced with feed grade calcium formate, presumably many farmers have some doubts about this. Chuandong Chemical Group would like to tell you that it is your wise decision to change calcium supplementation to calcium formate for pigs. The characteristics of calcium formate are: good digestion, good absorption, good use, and does not require the participation of gastric acid, reducing the use of acidifiers, thus reducing the cost of feed.


Piglets cannot produce enough acid in the stomach after weaning, and the PH value of the lysate in the stomach is too high to achieve a better digestion effect. The required PH is less than 4. This lack of acidity can lead to many problems including insufficient activation of pepsin, increased gastric emptying rate and poor ability to control gastrointestinal flora. This inhibits the digestion of protein, causing piglet indigestion, diarrhea, diarrhea, and the utilization rate of feed will be greatly reduced. So can piglet feeding be replaced with calcium formate? Look at some calcium supplement products commonly used by farmers:

1. Calcium carbonate: It is strongly alkaline and has great gastrointestinal irritation. The absorption process requires a large amount of gastric acid to neutralize, the absorption utilization rate is low, the heavy metal content is high, and the palatability is extremely poor. It is easy to react with the addition of vitamins and reduce the utilization of vitamins. Not suitable for young animals and those with achlorhydria.

2. Calcium citrate: The price is high, and it doesn't work if the amount added is small, and the feed becomes hardened if added.

3. Calcium lactate: 13% calcium, low calcium content. To achieve the control of the calcium level in the diet at 0.58% to 0.8%, too much dosage is required, which is difficult to accept for feed costs.

4. Calcium formate: The calcium content is as high as 30%, which can completely replace stone powder and has a high utilization rate of livestock and poultry. Neutral PH value, low moisture content, good water solubility and neutral.


Because calcium formate is an organic acid calcium, the content is above 98%, and the calcium content is ≥30.4%. Mixing calcium formate into the additive premix will not cause vitamin loss, and can separate free formic acid under the action of gastric acid, reduce gastric PH, improve animal immunity, and reduce the additional expenditure of acidifiers.


Tip: It is also indispensable to supplement calcium for piglets. Therefore, some inorganic calcium sources such as calcium carbonate will be added to the feed. If these inorganic calcium sources are to be digested and absorbed, they must be completed with the participation of gastric acid. Piglets have insufficient secretion of gastric acid, and only a larger dose of acidulant is added, which increases the cost of feed. So piglet calcium can be replaced with organic feed grade calcium formate.

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
