Calcium Carbonate

CaCO3

Calcium carbonate contains large amounts of calcium which plays a very important role in the growth and maintenance of livestock and poultry health. deficiency of calcium in the feed can lead to many problems such as skeletal abnormalities, reduced growth and weight, and reduce eggshell quality. In poultry, calcium carbonate is essential for digestion in the gizzard as well as maximizing egg production and improving egg shell, Because eggshell is mainly composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In livestock, deficiency or imbalance in calcium can cause decrease growth, osteomalacia, reduced milk production, displacement of abomasum and milk fever.

Consuming available calcium sources such as calcium carbonate powder has wide-rang effects on the performance and production of livestock and poultry:

Increase in weight and health of livestock and poultry
Improve eggshell quality
Improvement in the production and composition of milk (quantity and quality of milk)
Strengthening bone and preventing osteoporosis and deformations in the legs
Prevent nerve problems and muscle contractions and cramps
Improving the enzymatic and hormonal function of livestock and poultry
