Dicalcium Phosphate (Animal Feed Grade)

Dicalcium Phosphate (Animal Feed Grade) is an inorganic mineral supplement primarily composed of CaHPO4 · 2H2O, delivered as a white to off-white powder. It serves as a concentrated source of calcium and phosphorus, essential nutrients in animal and poultry nutrition for skeletal development and production performance. Supplied typically with a Ca/P ratio close to 1.2:1, it allows precise formulation of feed to maintain mineral balance. This product is packaged in bags or provided in bulk quantities, depending on the buyer's volume requirements. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, avoiding exposure to moisture which can degrade quality and handling properties. Industrial buyers should consider standard feed premix inclusion rates around 1-3% by weight, adjustable per species and growth stage specifications. The technical-grade formulation aligns with feed additive regulations applicable in the region and is tailored for integration into feed mill operations or premix manufacturing processes, supporting animal husbandry operations across multiple East African markets.

Ensuring adequate calcium and phosphorus intake is critical in animal feed formulations to support optimal growth rates, bone strength, and metabolic functions. Deficiency in these minerals can lead to skeletal deformities, reduced productivity, and increased veterinary costs among livestock and poultry. Dicalcium Phosphate (Animal Feed Grade) directly addresses these nutritional needs by providing bioavailable minerals that livestock can assimilate efficiently. Using this compound improves feed formulation precision, helping manufacturers comply with nutrient profiles required for different species, breeds, and production goals, ultimately improving feed conversion ratios and animal health.
