Calcium formate Uses

 Calcium formate (CAS NO.544-17-2) can be used as acidity agent instead of lemon acid and fumaric acid, and as anticorrodant and mildew preventive to substitute Calcium propionate. It is applicable to the feed stuffs for all kinds of animals, preventing diarrhea and helping digestion, especially to kid pigs. Also, Calcium formate is a good kind of growth regulator of crops.
