Njengoba kuvimbela ukwakheka kwamagciwane kanye nokukhiqizwa kwe-mycotoxins, ama-anti-mildew agents anganciphisa ukusabela kwamakhemikhali kanye nokulahlekelwa imisoco okubangelwa izizathu ezihlukahlukene ezifana nezinga lokushisa eliphezulu kanye nomswakama ophezulu ngesikhathi sokugcina ukudla.I-calcium propionate, njenge-feed mildew inhibitor, ingakhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwama-microorganisms anenzuzo futhi ivimbele ukukhiqizwa kwegciwane eliyingozi kanye nesikhunta.Uma ingezwe ku-silage, ingavimbela ngempumelelo ukukhula kwesikhunta, ithuthukise izinga le-silage futhi ifinyelele inhloso yokugcinwa okusha.

I-calcium propionateiyi-ejenti ye-antifungal ephephile nethembekile yokudla nokudla egunyazwe yi-World Health Organization (WHO) kanye neNhlangano Yezokudla Nezolimo yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene (i-FAO).I-calcium propionate ingamuncwa abantu nezilwane ngokusebenzisa i-metabolism, futhi inikeze i-calcium edingekayo kubantu nasezilwaneni.Ibhekwa njenge-GRAS.

I-calcium propionateikhuthaza ukumuncwa kwezakhi zokudla futhi ithuthukise inani lokudla okunempilo, ilungisa inani le-pH yemfuyo nezinkukhu, ikhuthaze ukukhula kwamagciwane azuzisayo njengama-bacterium e-lactic acid, ithuthukise umsebenzi wama-enzymes wokugaya njenge-pepsin futhi ikhuthaze ukugaya nokugaya ukudla. ukumuncwa izakhamzimba.

I-calcium propionateingavimbela ukudla okuluhlaza ekukhunjeni ngesikhathi sokugcina, ithuthukise ukunambitheka kwemfuyo ekudleni futhi ithuthukise izinga lokusebenzisa amaprotheni ekudleni.Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-silage yobisi ephathwa nge-calcium propionate isiza ukwakheka kweketango elifushane lamafutha acid obisini futhi ithuthukise izinga lamafutha obisi;Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuyasiza ekukhuleni, ekugayeni nasekugayeni ukudla okunomsoco ku-rumen kanye nokwanda kokukhiqizwa kobisi lwezinkomo zobisi.Ukuhlolwa kokuphakela izinkomo zobisi ngotshani bommbila we-silage obuvikelwe ngui-calcium propionatekukhombisa ukuthi ukudla kunokubola okuncane, ukuthamba okuthambile, ukunambitheka okuhle, futhi izinkomo zobisi zithanda ukudla, okungathuthukisa isivuno sobisi kanye nezinga lamafutha obisi ezinkomo zobisi.
