Monocalcium phosphate is a mineral-based raw material used as a source of phosphorus in feed production and animal nutrition.
By adding this phosphate to rations, animals’ phosphorus requirements are met with high efficiency, thereby improving growth, reproductive performance and feed conversion ratios.
Phosphorus is essential for numerous vital biological processes, including ATP synthesis, nucleic acid formation and bone development.
The production of monocalcium phosphate is based on the direct reaction of phosphoric acid with calcium oxide. Both raw materials are of a quality suitable for animal feed. This results in the following distinctive product characteristics:
• High levels of digestible mineral phosphorus
• Low chloride content
• Acidic pH
• Low heavy metal levels
• Suitable particle size
The raw materials used and the final product are subject to strict quality controls and are stored under appropriate conditions to prevent any risk of contamination.
The final product is dried using natural gas at controlled low temperatures. This method not only prevents the risk of contamination but also inhibits the retrogradation of phosphorus, thereby enhancing the product’s bioavailability and digestibility.
From an environmental perspective, the production process is entirely eco-friendly and generates no chemical waste.
