What role does calcium formate play in feed feeding?

(1) lowering the PH value of gastrointestinal tract is beneficial to activate the Pepsin, make up for the deficiency of digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach of piglets, and improve the digestibility of feed nutrients. Stop the growth and reproduction of E. Coli and other pathogenic bacteria, while promoting the growth of some beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus. Beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus can coat the intestinal Mucosa, protecting it from toxins produced by E. Coli, thus preventing diarrhea associated with bacterial infections.

(2) formic acid, as an organic acid, can act as a chelating agent in the process of digestion and promote the absorption of minerals in the intestine.

(3) as a new type of feed additive. Feeding Calcium formate to gain weight and using calcium formate as feed additive for piglets can promote the appetite of piglets and reduce the rate of diarrhea. In the first few weeks after weaning, adding 1.5% calcium formate in the feed can increase the growth rate of piglets by more than 12% and feed conversion rate by 4%
