Calcium Phosphate

Brief Overview

Calcium phosphate is a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca²⁺) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called calcium phosphates contain oxide and hydroxide as well. They are white solids of nutritious value. Calcium phosphates are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth enamel. In milk, it exists in a colloidal form in micellas bound to casein protein with magnesium, zinc, and citrate- collectively referred to as colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP)

Feed Industry

Feed grade calcium phosphate is used as feed additives for livestock animals with the following benefits:

• Facilitates metabolism.
• Strengthens bone structure and teeth.
• Involved in energy utilization and transfer.
• Regulates acid-base and osmotic balance.
• Required by ruminal microbes in cattle for growth and cellular metabolism.
• Sterngthens immune and reproductive systems
