Dicalcium phosphate

Dicalcium phosphate

Dicalcium phosphate is a commonly used mineral ingredient in animal feed. It provides highly bioavailable calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals for the development and maintenance of bones, teeth, and normal metabolism in farm animals and other animal species.

In animal feed applications, dicalcium phosphate is used in premixes, compound feeds, and supplemental feeds. It helps to formulate targeted diets and correct deficiencies in calcium and phosphorus. As a result, this ingredient supports a balanced supply of minerals during various stages of growth, production, and maintenance.

Dicalcium phosphate is characterized by its consistent composition and good processability in industrial production processes. The product can be efficiently dosed and homogeneously mixed, which is important for ensuring the consistent quality of the final feed. For animal feed manufacturers, this provides reliability in formulation, process control, and product specifications.
