Calcium formate for feed

Calcium formate can be used as a feed additive for piglets, which can promote appetite and reduce diarrhea rate.

Adding 1% -1.5% calcium formate to piglet diets can significantly improve the production performance of weaned piglets. According to German research, adding 1.3% calcium formate to weaned piglet diets can improve feed conversion rates by 7% -8%, and adding 0.9% can reduce the occurrence of piglet diarrhea.

Calcium formate for feed is an organic calcium supplement mainly used in animal feed to enhance its nutritional value and promote healthy animal growth. Calcium formate is a white crystalline or powder, odorless, easily soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in ether. It contains about 31% calcium and 69% formic acid, thus having both calcium supplementation and acidifying properties.
