The role of calcium formate in animal feeding
The pH value in the stomach of animals is 2.0-2.5, and the pH value in the small intestine is 5-7. This acidic environment is the necessary condition for the feed ingredients to be fully digested and absorbed in the body, the beneficial bacteria to grow reasonably, and the pathogenic microorganisms to be effectively inhibited, so to ensure these pH values is one of the most important factors in the digestive environment of the animal's organism.
Ensuring these conditions can achieve the purpose of improving animal growth performance and feed utilization, and enhancing the body's ability to resist disease. However, the digestive system of young animals is not well developed, gastric acid secretion is insufficient, digestive enzyme activity is low, gastrointestinal pH is higher than the enzyme activity and the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the appropriate range. As a new type of growth promoter that can reduce the pH value of the digestive tract and provide the most suitable digestive environment for animals to meet the needs of nutrition and disease prevention, feed acidifier has been applied in livestock and poultry feed. Nowadays, acidifier has become an important Additive after antibiotics, along with probiotics and enzymes. Acidifier to replace some of the drug additives is promising.
At present, the acidifiers recognized by the world as having definite effects mainly include citric acid, fenugreek acid and calcium formate, while propionic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid have been proved to be ineffective or even have negative effects after a large number of experiments. From the point of view of daily weight gain and feed utilization, the effects of the three positive effect acidifiers are in the following order: calcium formate＞citric acid＞fenugreek acid The effect of compound acidifiers is better than that of single acidifiers. The demand for calcium in the growth process of animals is very large, and at the same time, there exists a co-existence and co-increase of calcium and phosphorus in a coordinated ratio. Once the ratio is insufficient or improper, it will directly affect the normal growth and development and production level of animals. Calcium formate, as an acidifier, can not only reduce the acidity of the feed, keep the health of the gastrointestinal tract of the animal, but also supplement the calcium element needed by the animal body. In addition, calcium formate can also promote the healthy development of animal bones and enhance the immunity of animals. Feed grade calcium formate is widely used in animal husbandry and poultry production, and is vital to the growth and health of animals.
Company information
The company's main import and export products include
（1）Catalysts And Auxiliaries：Generally speaking, a catalyst is a substance that participates in the intermediate course of a chemical reaction and can selectively change the rate of the chemical reaction, while its own quantity and chemical properties remain basically unchanged before and after the reaction. Usually, the catalyst accelerates the chemical reaction, so that the reaction reaches the chemical equilibrium as soon as possible is called catalytic effect, but does not change the equilibrium of the reaction.
Additives are a variety of auxiliary chemicals that need to be added during the production or processing of certain materials and products in order to improve the production process and enhance the performance of the product required for a variety of auxiliary chemicals.
（2）Flavors and Fragrances：They are volatile substances. They have a certain aroma and fragrance, can be people smell taste out (some aroma and fragrance in the case of people can not be perceived by the senses, but will be different creatures feel and distinguish out); requirements to achieve the purpose of the people's favourite, the spirit of pleasure and enrichment and beautification of the material and cultural life of the people.
（3）Polymers：A polymer is a large molecule or a macromolecule, which essentially is a combination of many subunits. Polymers can be found all around us, from the strand of our DNA, which is a naturally occurring biopolymer, to polypropylene which is used throughout the world as plastic.Polymers can be naturally found in plants and animals (natural polymers) or can be human-made (synthetic polymers). Different polymers have a number of unique physical and chemical properties, due to which they find usage in everyday life.
