2. Product quality index of calcium formate
3. Application scope
1. Feed grade calcium formate: 1. As a new type of feed additive. Feeding calcium formate to gain weight and using calcium formate as a feed additive for piglets can promote the appetite of piglets and reduce the rate of diarrhea. Adding 1% to 1.5% calcium formate to the piglet diet can significantly improve the performance of weaned piglets. A German study found that adding 1.3% calcium formate to the diet of weaned piglets can improve the feed conversion rate by 7% to 8%, and adding 0.9% can reduce the incidence of piglet diarrhea. Zheng Jianhua (1994) added 1.5% calcium formate to the diet of 28-day-old weaned piglets for 25 days, the daily gain of piglets increased by 7.3%, the feed conversion rate increased by 2.53%, and the protein and energy utilization rate increased by 10.3% respectively. and 9.8%, piglet diarrhea was significantly reduced. Wu Tianxing (2002) added 1% calcium formate to the diet of ternary hybrid weaned piglets, the daily gain was increased by 3%, the feed conversion rate was increased by 9%, and the piglet diarrhea rate was reduced by 45.7%. Other things to note are: the use of calcium formate is effective before and after weaning, because the hydrochloric acid secreted by the piglets increases with age; calcium formate contains 30% easily absorbed calcium, so pay attention to adjusting calcium and phosphorus when formulating feed. proportion.
2. Industrial grade calcium formate:
(1) Construction industry: as a quick-setting agent, lubricant and early-drying agent for cement. It is used in construction mortar and various concretes to speed up the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time, especially in winter construction, to avoid too slow setting speed at low temperature. The demoulding is fast, so that the cement can be put into use as soon as possible.
(2) Other industries: tanning, wear-resistant materials, etc.
Application
1. Feed Grade Calcium Formate: Feed Additives
2. Industry Grade Calcium Formate:
(1)Construction Use: For cement, as coagulant, lubricant;Forbuilding mortar, to acceleration cement’s hardening.
(2)Other Use: For leather, anti-wear materials, etc
