Njengoko zithintela imetabolism yeentsholongwane ezincinci kunye nokuveliswa kwee-mycotoxins, ii-anti mildew agents zinokunciphisa ukusabela kweekhemikhali kunye nokulahleka kwezondlo okubangelwa zizizathu ezahlukeneyo ezifana nobushushu obuphezulu kunye nokufuma okuphezulu ngexesha lokugcina ukutya.I-calcium propionate, njengesithinteli sokutya i-feed mildew, inokukhuthaza ukuveliswa kwakhona kweentsholongwane eziluncedo kwaye ithintele ukuveliswa kwakhona kweentsholongwane eziyingozi kunye ne-mold. Xa yongezwa kwi-silage, inokuthintela ngempumelelo ukukhula kwe-mold, iphucule umgangatho we-silage kwaye ifezekise injongo yokugcina i-fresh.

I-calcium propionatesisithako esikhuselekileyo nesithembekileyo sokulwa neentsholongwane ekutyeni nasekutyeni esivunyiweyo yiWorld Health Organisation (WHO) kunye neFood and Agriculture Organisation yeUnited Nations (FAO). ICalcium propionate inokufunxwa ngabantu kunye nezilwanyana ngokusebenzisa imetabolism, kwaye inike icalcium efunekayo ebantwini nakwizilwanyana. Ithathwa njengeGRAS.

I-calcium propionateIkhuthaza ukufunxwa kwezondlo zokutya kwaye iphucule ixabiso lesondlo, ilungisa ixabiso le-pH yendlela yokugaya ukutya yemfuyo kunye neenkukhu, ikhuthaza ukukhula kweebhaktheriya eziluncedo ezifana nebhaktheriya ye-lactic acid, iphucule umsebenzi wee-enzymes zokugaya ukutya ezifana ne-pepsin kwaye ikhuthaza ukugaywa kunye nokufunxwa kwezondlo.

I-calcium propionateinokuthintela ukutya okuluhlaza kwi-mildew ngexesha lokugcina, iphucule ukutyeba kwemfuyo ekutyeni kwaye iphucule izinga lokusetyenziswa kweprotheyini ekutyeni. Kwelinye icala, i-milk silage enyangwe nge-calcium propionate inceda ekwakhiweni kwe-short chain fatty acids kubisi kwaye iphucule izinga lamafutha obisi kubisi; Kwelinye icala, inceda ekukhuleni, ekugayweni nasekugayweni kwezondlo kwi-rumen kunye nokwanda kwemveliso yobisi lweenkomo zobisi. Uvavanyo lokondla iinkomo zobisi nge-silage corn straw ekhuselwe yii-calcium propionateibonisa ukuba ukutya akuboli kangako, kuthambile, kuyathandeka, kwaye iinkomo zobisi zithanda ukutya, nto leyo enokuphucula isivuno sobisi kunye nezinga lamafutha obisi kwiinkomo zobisi.
