Product Details
Calcite powder is a natural source of calcium carbonate, which is an essential mineral for livestock health and growth. Calcite powder can be used as a calcium supplement for cattle feed, as it has a high calcium content and a low magnesium content. Calcite powder can also provide other trace minerals, such as copper, zinc and manganese, that are beneficial for animal metabolism and immunity. According to some studies, calcite powder has a lower fluorine content than calcium carbonate, which can reduce the risk of fluorosis in animals . Calcite powder also has a high ruminal solubility, which means it can be easily dissolved and absorbed in the rumen of cattle .
Some specifications of calcite powder used in cattle industries are:
- Dry matter: 98-99%
- Total ash: 96-98%
- Acid insoluble ash: 0.5-1.5%
- Calcium: 39-41%
- Magnesium: 0.5-1%
- Phosphorus: 0.03-0.05%
- Copper: 2-4 ppm
- Zinc: 10-15 ppm
- Manganese: 20-25 ppm
- Lead: <10 ppm
- Cadmium: <1 ppm
