Calcium formate inoshandiswa kuwedzera huremu, uye calcium formate inoshandiswa sekuwedzera kwekudya kwenguruve kukurudzira kudya uye kuderedza manyoka. Calcium formate inowedzerwa kune chikafu nenzira isina kwayakarerekera. Mushure mekunge nguruve dzadyiswa, chiito chebiochemical chechikamu chekudya chichasunungura chinyorwa che formic acid, nokudaro kuderedza pH kukosha kwegumbo remudumbu. Inokurudzira kukura kwebhakitiriya inobatsira mumugwagwa wekudya uye inoderedza zviratidzo zvenguruve. Mumavhiki ekutanga mushure mekurumurwa, kuwedzerwa kwe1.5% calcium formate pakudya kunogona kuwedzera kukura kwenguruve nezvikamu zvinopfuura 12% uye kuwedzera huwandu hwekushandurwa kwekudya ne4%.
