Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)
Magnesium is an essential element in animal metabolic path, because it acts as a cofactor for many vital enzymes. Today, in modern farm, due to the feeding of ruminants with feed containing high concentrate and low forage, the need for buffer compounds has increased. Compounds containing magnesium are among the useful buffers in this field. Magnesium carbonate is one of the main sources of magnesium in animal feed.
Advantages of using magnesium carbonate:
Maintaining ruminal pH in the optimal range
control of acidosis
Improving the activity of rumen microorganisms
Increasing the efficiency of energy usage
Increasing milk fat
lack of environmental pollution (vs. released sodium from sodium bicarbonate)
