丙酸钙及其在动物生产中的应用

Application of calcium propionate in animal production

丙酸钙是一种新型饲料添加剂,近年来在饲料生产、动物生产中的应用越来越广泛。作为一种有机酸盐,丙酸钙不仅作为防腐剂,也常常作为酸化剂在饲料工业中应用,对预防疾病与提高动物生产性能发挥了积极的作用。文中综述了丙酸钙的理化性质与功用,对反刍动物产奶量、消化代谢与代谢疾病预防的影响及其在家禽生产中的应用。

Calcium propionate is a new feed additive which is applied increasingly widely in feed pro- duction and animal feeding. As a kind of organic acid salt, calcium propionate is not only used as antiseptic, but also often applied to feed industry, which develops an important role in the disease prevention and improving animal production function. This paper reviews calcium propionate＇s physieochemical property, function and influence on milk production, digestibility and metabolic disease prevention of ruminant animals.
