Feed additive calcium formate has antibacterial effect of organic acid
Organic acids can play an effective role in antibacterial and bacteriostasis. There are single or Compound Acidifiers, liquid and solid Acidifiers. Feed additive calcium formate has the function of organic calcium acid, which can supplement the missing calcium element in livestock, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in livestock intestines, and play the role of acidifier.
Feed additive calcium formate belongs to organic calcium carbonate, which is produced by organic formic acid and calcium carbonate. The combination of the two can achieve complementary synergistic effect, overcome the shortcomings of a single acidifier, enhance the use effect, reduce the cost of use and feeding, and improve the economic effect of breeding.
Let's look at the raw material of feed additive calcium formate is organic acid. The acidity of organic acid comes from H+ ion. The strength of organic acid depends on the quantity of H+ provided. Due to the different chemical structure of organic acids, their antibacterial mechanism is quite complex. Therefore, under the same weight, the smaller the molecular weight of organic acids (such as formic acid), the more H+ they provide, and the stronger their acidity. Therefore, the effect of formic acid is better than that of citric acid and lactic acid in terms of reducing feed PH (actually, reducing feed buffer value).
The acidifier added in feed is generally organic acid. It is found that there are obvious differences in the antibacterial effect between VOC, Nvoc and inorganic acid. VOC (formic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid) has a better bactericidal effect, and directly diffuses into the cell. By reducing the pH value of the cell, some macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, protein or lipids are inhibited The metabolism of the components of the cell membrane destroys the integrity of the cell membrane of the pathogen, so as to achieve the bactericidal effect; the non-volatile organic acids (such as lactic acid) and inorganic acids (such as phosphoric acid) have significant bacteriostatic effect, because these Acidifiers reduce the PH value of the stroma of the pathogen, destroy the osmotic pressure system of the pathogen, and prevent the normal reproduction of the cells, so as to prevent the development and development of the pathogen Growth.
The calcium formate produced by Chuandong chemical group, which has the production license of feed additive, combines organic formic acid with calcium carbonate. It can not only supplement calcium to livestock and poultry, but also regulate the pH value of intestinal tract and play the role of acidifier. Feed additive calcium formate can reduce the PH value of feed in the digestive tract and provide the best digestive tract environment for animals, has been widely used at home and abroad, and has been widely used in the feed of poultry, piglets, beef cattle, cows, sheep and other animals.
