It can not only be used as an alternative to traditional calcium sources, but also as an effective anti-stress agent and preservative in feed applications. What kind of feed can it be used in?
As an organic calcium source, the solubility of calcium formate is better than that of inorganic calcium sources, such as calcium carbonate. In addition, the calcium in calcium formate exists in the form of formate, which is easier to absorb in the animal intestine, thus improving the nutritional value of feed.
It has good antioxidant properties, which can prevent the oxidation of vitamins and other nutrients in the feed to a certain extent, and extend the shelf life of the feed. Adding calcium formate to animal feed can effectively regulate the balance of gastric acid, help maintain intestinal health and improve the digestibility of feed.
Calcium formate can also be used as an anti-stress agent to reduce the stress response of animals in the process of transportation, weaning, and transfer, and contribute to the healthy growth of animals.
So calcium formate is suitable for use in what feed?
Application in pig feed: Calcium formate is widely used in pig feed, especially in piglet feed, which can improve the survival rate and growth rate of piglets.
Application in ruminant feed: The application of calcium formate in ruminant feed is also more common, such as added to cow feed, can improve milk production and quality, while helping to regulate the gastrointestinal environment of cows.
Application in aquatic feed: The application of calcium formate in aquatic feed has also shown good results, which can improve the growth rate and disease resistance of aquatic animals.
The use of calcium formate can also have many advantages, such as improving the absorption and utilization of calcium, calcium in calcium formate exists in organic form, and is easier to be absorbed by the animal intestine, thereby improving the absorption and utilization of calcium. It can improve the palatability of feed and increase the feed intake of animals. In addition, compared with traditional inorganic calcium sources, calcium formate is an environmentally friendly calcium source and has no pollution to the environment.
Overall, as a new feed additive, calcium formate has a wide application prospect in animal nutrition. The rational application of calcium formate in feed can not only improve the nutritional value of feed, but also improve the production performance and health level of animals. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to determine the appropriate amount of addition according to the specific situation and relevant research.
