Di Calcium phosphate (DCP)

General Description

DCP is a DiCalcium phosphate Dihydrate product, with the formula CaHPO4.2H2O, with minimum 18% P content and Min 23 % Ca content.

Dihydrate means 2 molecules of water inside the phosphate and higher digestible product. The product has the highest digestibility of any DiCalcium phosphate one can find in the market.

Purity is closely correlated with bio-availability of phosphorus. In the traditional process the more contaminated are the raw material, the more indigestible elements the feed phosphate will contain. This is not the case with our used processing technology.

Applications:

Our DCP is the best option to be easily used with compound feeds, premixes, and concentrates to cover the nutritional requirements of both phosphorous and Calcium in poultry, ruminants, pets, and aquatic animals.


Safety and Handling:

Protective clothing, rubber gloves and eye protections are recommended. Rubber safety boots should also be worn in work areas. This product should be handled in areas with proper ventilation. Before using this product, refer to the MSDS for complete safety and handling guidelines. For proper disposal guidelines for calcium chloride wastes, consult the appropriate local regulatory authorities.
