Applications in Animal Feed
🐄 Livestock (Cattle, Sheep, Goats)
MCP ensures strong skeletal development and supports milk production by enhancing mineral balance in ruminants. It also contributes to increased feed intake and improved weight gain.
🐓 Poultry (Broilers, Layers, Turkeys)
In poultry diets, MCP helps in eggshell formation, bone strength, and overall growth performance. It ensures that layers produce high-quality eggs and broilers grow faster with better feed efficiency.
🐖 Swine (Pigs, Piglets)
Swine benefit from MCP due to improved bone mineralization, digestive efficiency, and higher reproductive success in breeding stock.
🐟 Aquaculture (Fish, Shrimp)
Due to its high water solubility, MCP is suitable for aquatic feed formulations, enhancing mineral uptake and disease resistance in fish and shrimp.
