Product Application of Calcium Formate CAS#544-17-2
Calcium formate breaks down into free formic acid in the animal intestine, which reduces the pH level in the stomach and intestines. This helps activate pepsinogen, enhances digestion, and provides antibacterial effects. The recommended addition level is 1.0%–1.5%.
