Overview
Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) is a premium feed-grade source of highly bioavailable phosphorus
and calcium. It is widely used in feed formulations for poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture
to support bone development, metabolism, and nutrient utilization.
This MCP complies with GB 22548-2017 and offers high water-soluble phosphorus, low fluorine
content, and consistent granule size, ensuring excellent mixing performance and feed safety.
MCP (Monocalcium Phosphate) ensures balanced phosphorus and calcium levels in modern livestock formulations.
Product Information
• Product Name: Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) Feed Grade
• Standard: GB 22548-2017
• Grade: Feed Additive (Mineral Source)
• Appearance: White to off-white granular powder
• Key Nutrients: Total Phosphorus (P) and Calcium (Ca)
• Function:
– Supplies digestible phosphorus for bone and skeletal growth
– Provides calcium for metabolic and structural functions
– Helps maintain optimal Ca:P ratio in feed
– Enhances feed efficiency and growth performance
• Recommended Applications: Poultry, swine, ruminants, aquaculture, and premixes
• Shelf Life: 24 months under dry storage
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse; keep away from moisture
Applications & Dosage
MCP is incorporated into feed formulations to balance the phosphorus and calcium needs of livestock.
Typical Inclusion Rates (for reference; follow actual formulation requirements):
• Poultry: 0.5% – 2.0% of feed
• Swine: 0.5% – 1.5% of feed
• Ruminants: According to mineral supplement formulas
• Aquaculture: 1.0% – 3.0% depending on species and feed type
MCP helps maintain an optimal Ca:P ratio, improves bone mineralization, and supports overall growth.

FAQ
1. Is monocalcium phosphate good or bad for you?
Monocalcium Phosphate used in feed is considered safe when applied within standard inclusion levels.
It provides highly bioavailable phosphorus and calcium that support bone development and feed efficiency in livestock. Human use is not recommended because feed-grade MCP does not follow food-grade standards.
2. What is monocalcium phosphate used for?
Monocalcium Phosphate is used as a feed mineral source supplying digestible phosphorus and calcium for poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture.
It helps maintain the Ca:P balance, improves skeletal strength, and enhances nutrient utilization in formulated feeds.
3. Is monocalcium phosphate the same as MSG?
No. Monocalcium Phosphate is a feed mineral additive, while MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a food-grade flavor enhancer.
MCP provides phosphorus and calcium, whereas MSG provides sodium and glutamate; the two serve entirely different functions and do not overlap in usage.
4. What are the hazards of monocalcium phosphate?
Feed-grade Monocalcium Phosphate is generally low-risk when handled properly.
Potential hazards include dust inhalation and moisture absorption, which may reduce product quality. It should be stored in dry, well-ventilated conditions and kept away from contamination.
