Overview
Calcium Formate is a high-purity calcium salt of formic acid supplied as a free-flowing crystalline powder. It is suitable for agricultural and animal nutrition value chains where a calcium source and organic acid salt are required. The product is neutral to slightly acidic in aqueous solution and is designed to be straightforward to handle, store and dose into premixes or finished formulations.
In animal nutrition, calcium formate is commonly used as a preservative and acidifier in compound feed for pigs, poultry and other species, in line with local regulations. By contributing to lower feed and gut pH, it is used in programs that aim to limit spoilage microorganisms and selected pathogenic bacteria and to support overall feed hygiene. Any effects on performance or nutrient utilization depend on the complete diet, farm management and local conditions and must be confirmed by your own trials.
Calcium Formate supplied through CropMineral is produced to a tightly controlled specification, with a typical assay not less than 98 percent calcium formate, low moisture content and controlled levels of water-insoluble material. Packaging formats are selected to suit bulk handling and international logistics, and current product specifications, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis should always be reviewed before use.
