Ground calcium carbonate and Stearic acid-coated calcium carbonate is widely used as feed additive in the animal feed industry. It is crucial to remember that the calcium carbonate particle size utilised in the animal feed sector needs to be strictly controlled. The animal’s digestive system may not properly absorb large particle sizes, whereas small particle sizes may cause respiratory issues in animals. Mangal Microns manufacture and supplies high-quality Ground calcium carbonate and Stearic acid-coated calcium carbonate carefully curated to the size that meets your needs.

Ground Calcium Carbonate

The animal feed industry frequently uses ground calcium carbonate (GCC) as a source of calcium, a mineral crucial to animal growth and development. GCC is a calcium-rich natural mineral that is obtained from limestone, making it the perfect addition to animal feed.

There are various advantages to using GCC in the animal feed sector.

• It aids in the production and upkeep of bones and teeth as well as the skeletal development of animals. Additionally, calcium is necessary for healthy neuron, muscle, and blood clotting functions.
• The high buffering ability of GCC can also aid in stabilising the pH of an animal’s digestive system. 
• This is especially crucial for animals like pigs and chickens, who eat a lot of acidic feed. Improving feed utilisation and lowering the risk of digestive diseases can both be accomplished by keeping the pH level in the digestive tract at the proper range.
• Compared to other supplements like dicalcium phosphate, GCC is a more affordable form of calcium. Additionally, it is easily put into formulas for animal feed and is widely accessible.

Stearic Acid Coated Calcium Carbonate

The stearic acid coating on calcium carbonate particles’ surfaces enhances their handling and dispersion qualities and also helps keep the particles from clumping.

• Stearic acid-coated calcium carbonate is a source of calcium and carbonate ions, which are necessary for developing and maintaining strong bones and teeth when used in animal feed. 
• Calcium is also involved in many other important biological processes, including muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting.
• The feed business benefits greatly from stearic acid-coated calcium carbonate’s high purity and uniform particle size distribution. 
• It is also cheaper than other calcium sources, such as bone meal or oyster shells.
