Quality Assurance

Each batch of Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) is manufactured under GB22549-2017 feed-grade
standards and undergoes strict inspection before release.

Quality control includes:
• Phosphorus and calcium content verification
• Heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd, Cr) testing
• Fluorine level monitoring
• Moisture and particle size control
• Full batch traceability and COA documentation

This ensures consistent nutrient levels, safety, and performance in feed applications.

Applications & Dosage

Dicalcium Phosphate is suitable for all major livestock and poultry feed formulations that
require supplemental phosphorus and calcium.

Typical inclusion rates (reference only; follow nutritionist recommendations):
• Poultry: 0.5% – 2.0% of feed
• Swine: 0.5% – 1.8% of feed
• Ruminants: According to mineral premix formulation
• Aquaculture: 1.0% – 3.0% depending on species and feed type

DCP helps balance Ca:P ratio and supports healthy bone formation, growth, and reproduction.
You may also check other mineral feed additives such as Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) for comparison of P and Ca availability.
