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.

matters needing attention

When adding calcium formate, it should be ensured that other ingredients in the feed are compatible with it to avoid adverse reactions.

The amount of calcium formate added should be comprehensively considered based on the type of animal, growth stage, body weight, and other components in the feed formula to achieve the best effect.

It is best to conduct small-scale experiments before use to determine the optimal dosage and feed formula.

The amount of calcium formate added to feed varies depending on factors such as animal species, growth stage, and feed formula, and a unified fixed value cannot be given. But generally speaking, the proportion of its addition in the feed will be controlled within a certain range to achieve the best effect. The amount of calcium formate added to feed is a comprehensive consideration based on multiple factors. In practical applications, adjustments should be made based on the specific conditions of the animals and the feed formula to achieve optimal growth and economic benefits.

Calcium formate is one of the essential mineral elements in animal bodies, which plays an important role in maintaining physiological functions such as bone health, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. Moderate intake of calcium formate can promote animal growth and development, improve feed utilization efficiency, and enhance animal productivity. Research has shown that calcium formate can also enhance animal immunity and disease resistance, reducing the occurrence of diseases.
