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 kwezakhamzimba kokuphakelayo futhi ithuthukise inani lokudla okunempilo, ilungisa inani le-pH yendlela yamathumbu yemfuyo nezinkukhu, ikhuthaze ukukhula kwamagciwane azuzisayo njengamabhaktheriya e-lactic acid, ithuthukise umsebenzi wama-enzyme wokugaya njenge-pepsin futhi ikhuthaze ukugayeka kokudla kanye nokumuncwa kwezakhi.

I-calcium propionateingavimbela ukudla okuluhlaza ekukhunjeni ngesikhathi sokugcinwa, 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.
