Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP), also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrate phosphate, is a widely used mineral feed additive valued for its role in animal nutrition. Although practically insoluble in water (with a solubility of 0.02 g per 100 mL at 25 °C), DCP reacts with water to form hydroxyapatite and phosphoric acid, contributing to its unique nutritional properties.
As a feed supplement, DCP provides a reliable source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals for livestock health and productivity. With a composition containing approximately 18% phosphate and calcium, it supports:
- Bone development and strength in cattle, poultry, beef, and sheep.
- Improved feed formulation for balanced nutrition.
- Enhanced growth performance and overall animal well-being.
At CYT International, we supply high-quality Dicalcium Phosphate that meets international feed safety standards. Our DCP is trusted by feed manufacturers and livestock producers for its consistency, purity, and effectiveness in supporting sustainable animal production.
