MONODICALCIUM PHOSPHATE (MDCP)
Monodicalcium Phosphate (MDCP) is a mineral-based feed material used as a highly available source of phosphorus and calcium in feed production and animal nutrition.
The addition of MDCP to feed rations efficiently meets the phosphorus and calcium requirements of livestock, supporting improved growth performance, skeletal development, reproductive efficiency, and feed conversion. Phosphorus is essential for many vital biological processes, particularly ATP synthesis, energy metabolism, nucleic acid formation, and bone development.
The production of MDCP is based on the direct reaction of phosphoric acid and calcium oxide. Both raw materials are carefully selected for their suitability for animal nutrition. This results in the following distinctive product characteristics:
The raw materials used and the finished product are subject to strict quality controls and stored under appropriate conditions to prevent any risk of contamination. The final product is dried using natural gas at controlled, low temperatures. This process prevents contamination and phosphorus retrogradation, preserving phosphorus bioavailability and digestibility. The production process is environmentally friendly and does not generate any chemical waste.
