Properties of calcium formate:

Ca(HCOO) 2. Molecular weight: 130.0 Specific gravity: 2.023 (20°C deg.c). Bulk density: 900-1000g/kg, PH value is neutral, and decomposed at 400°C. Index content ≥98% Moisture ≤0.5% Calcium ≥30%. Calcium formate is white or slightly yellow powder or crystal, non-toxic, slightly bitter in taste, insoluble in alcohol, not deliquescent, soluble in water, and the aqueous solution is neutral. poison. The solubility of calcium formate does not change much with the increase of temperature. It is 16g/100g water at 0℃, 18.4g/100g water at 100℃, and decomposed by heating at 400℃.

Mechanism of action:

As a new type of feed additive newly developed at home and abroad, calcium formate has a wide range of uses. It is suitable for use as an acidifier, anti mildew agent, and antibacterial agent in various animal feeds. It can replace citric acid, fumaric acid, etc. as feed acidifiers. It can reduce and regulate the PH value of the gastrointestinal tract, promote digestion and absorption of nutrients, and has the functions of disease prevention and health care, especially for piglets.

As a feed additive, calcium formate is especially suitable for weaning piglets. It can affect the proliferation of intestinal microbes, activate pepsinogen, improve the energy utilization of natural metabolites, increase feed conversion rate, prevent diarrhea and diarrhea, Improve the survival rate of piglets and the rate of daily weight gain, and calcium formate also has the effect of anti-mold and fresh-keeping.

Application:

It has been proved that when calcium formate was added to feed, trace amounts of formic acid could be isolated from animals.It can reduce the PH value of the gastrointestinal tract, and has a buffering effect, conducive to the stability of the PH value in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of harmful bacteria, promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms.For example,the growth of lactobacillus can make the intestinal mucosa from the invasion of toxins, so as to control and prevent the occurrence of bacteria-related diarrhea and other diseases.Calcium formate has good fluidity and a neutral PH value, so it will not cause equipment corrosion in the feed production process.Calcium formate can be added directly to feed to prevent the destruction of vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients,it is an ideal feed additive,and it can replace citric acid, fumaric acid.

Recommended dosage:

Add 0.6-1.2% calcium formate per ton of full price feed

Application scheme of organic calcium:

This is the comparison of several common calcium sources in today's feed formulations. The recommendations and choices for the application of organic calcium in feeds are:

1. The absorption rate of organic calcium (calcium formate, calcium lactate, calcium citrate, calcium gluconate) is higher than that of calcium carbonate, and the dietary calcium level can be appropriately lowered. The total dietary calcium is 0.65-0.75%.

2. Among organic calcium formate, calcium lactate, calcium citrate and calcium gluconate, calcium formate has the highest calcium content and the lowest price. It is suitable for use as educational materials. The addition amount is 6-12 kg/ton, which does not affect palatability.

3. The use of organic calcium can appropriately reduce the amount of acidifier, and will not cause a substantial increase in cost. C6H10CaO6`5H2O
