Monocalcium phosphate (MCP)

Monocalcium phosphate is manufactured from specifically prepared (defluorinated) wet-process phosphoric acid and calcite raw materials. MCP is used as a feed additive and as a supplement to birds and poultry feeds. This product supplements the feed ratio by phosphorus and calcium – mineral elements so important for formation of steady bones, normal functioning of energy, albumen metabolism, reproduction, neural and immunity systems. Mineral feed additive of such composition is especially beneficial for herbivorous animals.
