Uses of calcium formate

Uses of calcium formate

1. As a new feed additive. Feeding calcium formate for weight gain, using calcium formate as a feed additive for piglets can promote the appetite of piglets and reduce the rate of diarrhea. Adding 1% to 1.5% calcium formate in the piglet diet can significantly improve the performance of weaned piglets. A German study found that adding 1.3% calcium formate to the diet of weaning piglets can improve the feed conversion rate by 7% to 8%, and adding 0.9% can reduce the occurrence of piglet diarrhea. Zheng Jianhua (1994) added 1.5% calcium formate to the diet of 28-day-old weaned piglets. After feeding for 25 days, the daily weight gain of piglets increased by 7.3%, the feed conversion rate increased by 2.53%, and the protein and energy utilization rates increased by 10.3%. And 9.8%, piglet diarrhea was significantly reduced. Wu Tianxing (2002) added 1% calcium formate to the ternary hybrid weaned piglet diet, which increased the daily gain by 3%, increased the feed conversion rate by 9%, and reduced the piglet diarrhea rate by 45.7%. Other things to note are: the use of calcium formate is effective before and after weaning. This is because the hydrochloric acid secreted by the piglets is strengthened with age; calcium formate contains 30% of easily absorbed calcium, so pay attention to adjusting calcium and phosphorus when preparing feed. proportion.

2. Used in construction. It is used as a fast setting agent, lubricant and early strength agent for cement. Used in construction mortar and various concretes to speed up the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time, especially in winter construction, to avoid too slow setting speed at low temperatures. The demoulding is fast, so that the cement can be put into use as soon as possible to increase its strength. Calcium formate uses: all kinds of dry-mixed mortar, all kinds of concrete, wear-resistant materials, floor industry, feed industry, leather making. Dosage of calcium formate and precautions The dosage per ton of dry mortar and concrete is about 0.5~1.0%, and the maximum addition amount is 2.5%. The amount of calcium formate is gradually increased as the temperature drops. Even if the amount of 0.3-0.5% is applied in summer, it will have an obvious early-strength effect.

3. Domestic and foreign market research shows that adding 1% to 1.5% calcium formate in the piglet diet can significantly improve the performance of weaned piglets. A German study found that adding 1.3% calcium formate to the diet of weaning piglets can improve the feed conversion rate by 7% to 8%, and adding 0.9% can reduce the occurrence of piglet diarrhea.

4. Calcium formate can also be used in agriculture and is a new plant calcium supplement
