If calcium formate is an acidifier for pig feed, potassium diformate is a safe and effective growth promoter. Both calcium formate and potassium diformate contain formic acid in the main raw materials. Many people who do not understand these two products are thinking that calcium formate and potassium diformate are not the same. Why is the price difference so large? How is it actually used? Today Chuandong Chemical will tell you the detailed use of calcium formate and potassium diformate in feed additives.

Unlock the detailed uses of calcium formate and potassium diformate in feed additives.

Calcium formate and potassium diformate are currently widely used in feed additives, and they are also recognized by many feed manufacturers and farmers. They are also green and safe feed additives. The detailed use starts from the same place:

1. Calcium formate and potassium diformate are similar in that they are achieved by freeing formic acid in the stomach environment, both of which have the effects of inhibiting bacteria and lowering the pH value of the gastrointestinal tract. The formic acid contained in the two products is beneficial to activate pepsinogen, make up for the lack of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach of piglets, and improve the digestibility of feed nutrients. It can also prevent the growth and reproduction of E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria, and at the same time promote the growth of some beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus, thereby preventing the occurrence of diarrhea associated with bacterial infections.

2. Calcium formate and potassium diformate can also activate pepsinogen, improve the energy utilization of natural metabolites, increase the absorption of protein by animals, increase the survival rate and daily weight gain rate.

3. Calcium formate and potassium diformate both have the role of acidulant and have the effect of preventing mildew and keeping fresh.

The difference:

Calcium formate Calcium contains≥30.4%. Literally, calcium formate is calcium ion, mainly for calcium supplementation. Organic acid calcium is easier to digest and absorb than ordinary inorganic calcium.

Potassium diformate is mainly a white crystal composed of 2 formate ions and 1 potassium ion. It has been used in the EU for 20 years and is a growth promoter that can effectively replace antibiotics.

At present, the advent of the domestic wave of "ban resistance" and "no resistance" has accelerated the development of new, green and safe feed additives. Calcium formate can not only supplement calcium but also inhibit bacteria, and potassium diformate can inhibit bacteria and replace antibiotics without relying on imported expensive additives.
