Feed additives—Part 8: Preservatives, mildew preventives and acidity regulators—Calcium formate
1 Scope
This document provides the chemical name, molecular formula, relative molecular mass, and chemical structural formula of calcium formate, specifies the technical requirements, inspection rules, labeling, packaging, transportation, storage, and shelf life of calcium formate as a feed additive, and describes the sampling and test methods.
This document applies to calcium formate as a feed additive, which is produced by chemical synthesis using formic acid and calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide as raw materials, or produced as a by - product during the production of trimethylolpropane.

3 Terms and Definitions
There are no terms and definitions to be defined in this document.
4 Chemical Name, Molecular Formula, Relative Molecular Mass, and Chemical Structural Formula
4.1 Chemical Name
Calcium formate.
4.2 Molecular Formula
Ca(HCOO)₂.
4.3 Relative Molecular Mass
130.11 (calculated based on the international relative atomic mass in 2022).
4.4 Chemical Structural Formula
The chemical structural formula of calcium formate is shown in Figure 1.
5 Technical Requirements
5.1 Appearance and Properties
It should be white or off - white crystalline powder, with no odor.
5.2 Identification
5.2.1 Formate Identification
In acidic conditions, after the sample is dissolved and heated, a pungent odor of formic acid should be released.
5.2.2 Calcium Ion Identification
After the sample is dissolved in water and neutralized with ammonia water, in acidic conditions, add ammonium oxalate to produce a white precipitate. This precipitate is insoluble in acetic acid but soluble in hydrochloric acid.
5.2.3 Infrared Spectroscopy Identification
The infrared spectrum of the sample should be consistent with that of the reference material of calcium formate.
5.3 Physical and Chemical Indicators
It should comply with the requirements in Table 1.
Table 1 Physical and Chemical Indicators
6 Sampling
Conduct in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 14699.
7 Test Methods
Warning: Some reagents used in the test methods are corrosive. Handle with caution and take appropriate safety and protective measures.
7.1 General Provisions
Unless otherwise specified, all reagents used in this document are analytical pure reagents; the water used for testing is third - grade water as specified in GB/T 6682; standard titration solutions, reagents, or products are prepared in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 601 and GB/T 603.
7.2 Appearance and Properties
Take an appropriate amount of the sample and place it in a clean, dry white porcelain dish. Observe its color and shape under natural light, and smell its odor.
7.3 Identification Tests
7.3.1 Identification of Formate
7.3.1.1 Reagents or Materials
Sulfuric acid solution: Sulfuric acid + water = 1 + 9.
7.3.1.2 Instruments and Equipment
Analytical balance: Accuracy 0.001 g.
