Description

Dicalcium Phosphate Feed Grade is a high-purity, inorganic calcium phosphate salt specifically formulated for animal nutrition. It serves as a critical source of bioavailable calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for skeletal development, metabolic functions, and overall animal health and productivity. This product is primarily used by feed manufacturers and premix producers for poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture diets to ensure optimal mineral balance and support growth performance.

Application

• Animal Feed Premixes: A fundamental mineral source in vitamin-mineral premixes for poultry (broilers, layers), swine, and ruminants.
• Aquaculture Feed: Incorporated into formulated feeds for fish and shrimp to support bone and scale development.
• Pet Food Supplement: Used as a nutritional fortifier in dog, cat, and other companion animal foods.
• Feed Pellet Binder: Acts as a processing aid to improve pellet durability and reduce dust in finished feed.
• Dairy Cattle Rations: Supports milk production and helps maintain calcium-phosphorus balance crucial for dairy cow health.
• Poultry Bone Strength: Critical for preventing leg disorders and ensuring strong eggshell quality in laying hens.
