Calcium citrate is a kind of excellent organic calcium which is complex of citric acid and
calcium ion.Calcium citrate has good palatability, high biological titer, and can be fully absorbed and
utilized by animals. At the same time, calcium citrate acts as an acidifier, which can reduce the PH value of the diet, improve the structure of intestinal flora, enhance the activity of enzymes, and improve the digestibility.
1.Calcium citrateig can snificantly reduced dietary alkali storage and significantly reduced non-pathological diarrhea in piglets;
2. Calcium citrate can improve the palatability of the diet and increase the feed intake of animals;
3.With strong buffer capacity, the Ph value of gastric juice is maintained in the acidic range of 3.2-4.5.
4. Calcium citrate can improve the metabolic rate of calcium, effectively promote the absorption of phosphorus, efficient calcium supplement, completely replace calcium stone powder.

1) Substitute calcium stone powder in piglet feed
2) Reduce the dosage of acidifier
3) Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is better than calcium hydrogen phosphate when used together
4) The bioavailability of calcium in calcium citrate is 3-5 times higher than that of stone powder
5) Lower your total calcium level to 0.4-0.5%
6) Reduce the added amount of 1kg zinc oxide
Piglet: Add 4-6 kg/mt in compound feed
Boar:Add 4-7 kg/mt in compound feed
Poultry:Add 3-5 kg/mt in compound feed
Shrimp:Add 2.5-3 kg/mt in compound feed
