Benefits Of Choosing Calcium Formate To Supplement Calcium To Animals
Nov 12, 2021
In animal husbandry, calcium supplement is one of the key points to effectively increase animal production. The use of each calcium agent should be appropriate, too much or too little can't. The use frequency of calcium supplement products is also relatively high, but the calcium supplement effect is not necessarily good if the calcium content is high. Now many animal husbandry choose calcium formate to supplement calcium to animals. What do you think? Anyway, Xiaobian feels good.
Firstly, calcium formate belongs to organic calcium, and its calcium content ≥ 30% is not much lower than that of calcium carbonate. Although the calcium content of calcium carbonate reaches 40%, calcium formate is easier to absorb and digest. The reason is that its digestion does not need the participation of gastric acid. For example, the gastrointestinal digestion of young animals is not complete. Feeding inorganic calcium will increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, cause indigestion, and seriously cause diarrhea and other diseases.
Secondly, it is a calcium salt synthesized from formic acid and calcium carbonate. It is a small molecule calcium containing formic acid. It is very easy to absorb and has no irritation to the intestines and stomach. It is more suitable for animals. It can also reduce the pH value in the stomach, improve the palatability of the feed and play the role of acidifier.
Finally, it has low water content, good water solubility and neutrality. Heavy metals are strictly controlled. Mixing calcium formate into the additive premix will not cause vitamin loss. It is a safe and residue free feed additive.
Therefore, the effect of calcium supplementation cannot be evaluated by the high calcium content. In the breeding process, we need to consider the biological transformation of animals and use feed and its additives reasonably. The transformation effect may exceed imagination.
