Livestock & feed
Calcium in every ration.
Calcium carbonate for dairy and beef rations, layer and breeder feeds and mineral blends. Particle sizes selected for feed-mill handling and eggshell strength, with a certificate of analysis on every load.
For the demands of a dairy herd. Dairy cattle need calcium for skeletal health, muscle function and milk production.
Our calcium carbonate is a source of calcium for mineral supplements and total mixed rations. Consistent calcium content and particle size help nutritionists formulate predictable mineral mixes. The combination of fine and granular material supports mixing and limits separation during handling and delivery.
Your nutritionist can evaluate calcium availability alongside phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D and the rest of the ration. Requirements change with age, production and stage of lactation; transition-cow programs need a complete nutritional approach.
Quality & analysisPart of a balanced ration. Beef cattle, sheep and other livestock use calcium as part of a balanced mineral program.
- O1With the whole mineral program.Calcium should be considered with phosphorus and other minerals, rather than added in isolation. Your livestock nutritionist can set the inclusion rate for the species, forage and production goals.
- O2Controlled particle size.Controlled particle size supports consistent mixing, handling and supplement distribution. Share your dust, storage and transport requirements so we can help select a suitable grade.
- O3Standing orders.Pasture-based and housed operations can plan standing orders around seasonal demand and storage capacity. Local supply and application support keep the material specification and the delivery plan connected.
From mineral to eggshell. Poultry feeding programs use calcium carbonate to supply calcium for shell formation and skeletal development.
Fine to coarseSizing selected for the bird and the feeding system
Particle size matters: the blend should suit the bird, production stage and feeding system. Fine material and larger particles behave differently in the digestive system. Nutritionists use that difference when planning calcium availability through the laying cycle, including overnight shell formation.
Our classified material provides sizing options for poultry nutrition and grit applications. Discuss the required size and intended use with our team; soluble calcium particles and insoluble digestive grit serve different roles.
Analysis documentation supports ingredient evaluation and your feed-safety program. Evaluate a sample in your own feed system before establishing a regular supply.
