【Product Introduction】

Tricalcium phosphate feed grade is a high-quality feed mineral additive, mainly made from phosphate rock or limestone through ore dressing, crushing, calcination, impurity removal and other processes. Tricalcium phosphate feed grade can effectively supplement the phosphorus element in animals and increase the phosphorus content of feed. The addition amount is usually 1%~3% of the total feed. As one of the calcium sources, it can provide calcium and phosphorus at the same time, which is conducive to animal bone health.

 

 

【Product Advantages】

Strong Stability
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade has good stability during feed processing and storage. Its chemical properties are relatively stable under different temperature and humidity conditions. In a feed storage environment with a relative humidity of 60% - 80%, tricalcium phosphate feed grade will not decompose or deteriorate. During the feed pelleting process, even after high temperature (80℃ - 90℃) and high pressure treatment, the calcium and phosphorus content and structure of tricalcium phosphate feed grade remain basically unchanged, and it can still maintain its original nutritional value. This ensures that tricalcium phosphate feed grade can continuously and stably provide calcium and phosphorus nutrition to animals during feed processing and storage.

 

Appropriate PH Value Promotes Nutrient Absorption
The pH value of tricalcium phosphate feed grade is between 8 and 12. This pH range helps maintain the acid-base balance in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and is conducive to the digestion and absorption of other nutrients. The appropriate pH environment can promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of nutrients such as protein and fat in the feed and improve the utilization rate of the feed. Using tricalcium phosphate feed grade within this pH range, animals' feed digestibility is about 15% - 20% higher than using feed with abnormal pH.

 

High Calcium Content Ensures Animal Bone Health
The lowest calcium content in tricalcium phosphate feed grade is 30.5%. Calcium is a key element for the development of animal bones and teeth. Adequate calcium supply is essential for the normal growth and development of bones in young animals. In livestock and poultry farming, appropriate calcium intake can improve the bone strength of young animals and reduce the incidence of bone dysplasia caused by calcium deficiency. Compared with feed with insufficient calcium content, the use of this high calcium content tricalcium phosphate feed grade can significantly reduce the occurrence of bone problems such as lameness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade is an additive used in feed processing. Its main component is tricalcium phosphate. It usually appears as a white or grayish amorphous powder, providing calcium, phosphorus and other mineral nutrients for livestock and poultry.

 

What are the physical and chemical properties of tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade is insoluble in water and ethanol, but easily soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute nitric acid. This solubility characteristic allows it to be well dissolved and absorbed by gastric acid in animals. It is stable in the air and is not prone to chemical changes. It has a high melting point of about 1670℃, which makes it remain solid at room temperature.

 

What are the functions of tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade can promote the rapid growth and development of livestock and poultry bones, enhance disease resistance, help livestock and poultry gain weight quickly, shorten the fattening period, improve the breeding rate and survival rate of livestock and poultry, and extend the shelf life of feed and prevent it from mold.

 

What are the effects of adding too much or too little tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
Adding too much tricalcium phosphate feed grade may cause an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio and cause digestive problems in animals, such as diarrhea in laying hens; adding too little tricalcium phosphate feed grade cannot meet the animal's needs for calcium and phosphorus, affecting the animal's growth, development and health.

 

What are the storage conditions of tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade should be stored in a ventilated, cool and dry place. It should be protected from moisture and mildew, and should not be stored together with other materials.

 

What is the production process of tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
The production processes of tricalcium phosphate feed grade mainly include sintering defluorination and melting defluorination. Sintering defluorination is a method widely used in the world.

 

How to judge the quality of tricalcium phosphate feed grade?
It can be judged from the appearance, purity, calcium and phosphorus content, heavy metal content and other aspects. High-quality feed-grade tricalcium phosphate should have an off-white powder appearance, high purity, calcium and phosphorus content that meets the standard requirements, and low content of harmful substances such as heavy metals.

 

What animals are tricalcium phosphate feed grade suitable for?
Tricalcium phosphate feed grade is suitable for various poultry and livestock, such as chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., and is also suitable for some special breeding animals.
