Minerals are a fundamental component of animal nutrition and play a vital role in growth, skeletal strength, production, fertility, and immune function. A balanced supply of macro and trace minerals supports metabolism, enzymatic activity, and essential physiological systems.
Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) – Feed Grade for Animal Nutrition
Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) is an essential mineral supplement for the nutrition of livestock, poultry, and fish. It serves as a highly efficient and bioavailable source of phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca), both of which are vital components for skeletal health, metabolism, growth, fertility, and production performance.
MCP is produced through a controlled reaction between phosphoric acid and a calcium source, and is available in powder or granular form with low impurity levels.
Key Benefits in Animal Nutrition
Bone and Dental Health
• Essential for proper skeletal development and bone strength, especially in young animals and during rapid growth stages.
Metabolic Support
• Involved in energy production processes (ATP), protein synthesis, and normal enzymatic activity.
Performance Enhancement
• Improves FCR, growth rates, milk yield in livestock, and eggshell quality in poultry.
High Bioavailability
• The phosphorus in MCP is absorbed with high efficiency, unlike plant-based sources bound to phytate
Versatile Use
• Suitable for livestock, poultry, fish, and even pet food.
A Cost-Effective Solution
• An efficient and economical source of essential phosphorus in feed formulations.
An Essential Source of Calcium and Phosphorus for Animal Nutrition
Dicalcium Phosphate (CaHPO₄) is a key mineral supplement in animal nutrition, providing highly bioavailable calcium and phosphorus Its inclusion in feed supports proper skeletal development, energy production, fertility, and optimal performance in poultry, ruminants, swine, and aquaculture.
DCP helps balance the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in the diet – a critical factor for health, growth, and production performance.
