OptiFeed™ Pure Calcium Carbonate for Animal Feed and Nutrition

OptiFeed™ pure calcium carbonate is your ideal calcium choice for your next animal feed or nutrition supplement formulation.  It is produced from a specialty, high purity source to ensure you receive the maxium calcium content (over 99%) so your animals and livestock are receiving the proper nutrition they need to be healthy.  Also, it is ground to a very fine particle size.  This allows for a high surface area that aids in both rapid calcium absorption and provides improved rumen buffering compared to courser calcium carbonate grades.
