Calcium formate 544-17-2 manufacturer

Properties: white crystal or crystalline powder, soluble in water, no deliquescence, good flow performance.

Feed additive

Calcium formate, as a new feed additive, is suitable for weaning piglets. The nutritional effect of calcium formate is mainly realized by its formic acid decomposition in the stomach acid environment. It mainly improves the growth performance of weaning piglets by the following ways:

1. Lowering the pH of gastrointestinal tract is conducive to activating pepsinogen, making up for the deficiency of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach of piglets, and improving the digestibility of feed nutrients.

2, maintain a low pH value in the gastrointestinal tract, so as to prevent the large growth and reproduction of Escherichia coli and other pathogenic bacteria, and promote the growth of some beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacillus)! It acts as an antibiotic by producing volatile fatty acids in the cecum and the junction! In addition, lactobacillus and other beneficial bacteria can cover the intestinal mucosa! Make it free from the toxin produced by Escherichia coli! To prevent diarrhoea associated with bacterial infections.

3, in the digestive process can play the role of chelating agent! It can promote the intestinal absorption of minerals, improve the energy utilization of natural metabolites, improve the feed conversion rate, prevent diarrhea and dysentery, improve the survival rate and daily weight gain rate of piglets. Calcium formate also has the effect of mildew preservation.

Storage methods

Adopt double packing, moisture-proof, transport according to routine.

The synthetic methods

(1) Lime milk and CO under pressure, heating reaction system. (2) neutralization of formic acid and lime milk; Note: Decompose at 400℃.

2. Dissolve pure calcium carbonate in 90% formic acid and heat to release carbon dioxide. Calcium formate precipitates from the solution. The filter set crystal is dried to constant weight at 140℃.
