📌 Detailed Introduction of Monocalcium Phosphate Feed Grade (MCP)
✔ What is Monocalcium Phosphate Feed Grade?
Monocalcium Phosphate Feed Grade (Ca(H₂PO₄)₂) is a highly concentrated source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential nutrients needed for animal health. It is used in animal feed formulations to provide these vital minerals, which support:
✔ Bone and Teeth Health
✔ Metabolic Function & Growth
✔ Improved Feed Conversion Efficiency
✔ Optimal Animal Performance
Monocalcium phosphate is especially important for young animals, lactating animals, and laying hens where calcium and phosphorus demand is elevated.
📌 Production Method & Raw Materials
✔ Raw Materials Used:
Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄) – High-purity food-grade
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) – Natural limestone or quicklime
✔ Production Process:
Reaction Phase: Phosphoric acid is reacted with calcium carbonate to produce Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) under controlled conditions.
Crystallization & Filtration: The resulting slurry is filtered to remove impurities, leaving behind high-purity Monocalcium Phosphate.
Drying & Granulation: The product is dried to remove moisture, and then processed into either powdered or granular forms.
Packaging & Quality Control: The final MCP is packaged in moisture-resistant bags, ensuring consistent quality and longevity.
📌 Applications of Monocalcium Phosphate Feed Grade
✔ Poultry Feed (Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys)
Supports bone health in broilers and layers, helping to prevent rickets and leg disorders.
Enhances egg production by improving the eggshell quality and egg weight.
Provides an optimal phosphorus source for egg-laying hens, promoting better productivity.
✔ Livestock Feed (Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs)
Promotes healthy bone development and muscle growth in young animals.
Improves feed conversion efficiency, leading to better growth rates and weight gain in cattle, pigs, and sheep.
Supports dairy cows, enhancing milk production and improving milk calcium content.
✔ Aquaculture (Fish, Shrimp, Crustaceans)
Monocalcium phosphate enhances fish growth, skeleton development, and health in aquaculture.
Helps in shrimp molting and improves growth rates in crustaceans.
✔ Pet Food Industry (Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, etc.)
Used in pet food formulations to ensure proper bone structure and nutrient balance.
Provides a reliable phosphorus source for muscle development and overall health in pets.
📌 Key Benefits of Monocalcium Phosphate Feed Grade
✅ High Bioavailability – Offers easily absorbed calcium and phosphorus, essential for animal health.
✅ Supports Bone Development – Promotes strong bones, teeth, and overall skeletal health.
✅ Improves Animal Growth & Performance – Enhances growth rates and feed efficiency in livestock and poultry.
✅ Optimizes Egg Production – Boosts eggshell strength and egg quality in laying hens.
✅ Non-Toxic & Safe – Ensures a safe source of calcium and phosphorus for all animal species.
✅ Enhances Milk Production – In dairy cattle, improves milk yield and calcium content.

Application
1.Broiler
MCP seems to have the highest P digestibility compared with other feed Phosphorus. The results confirm that the P digestibility of MCP is 19%,25%,25%higher than DCP respectively. According to the P digestibility of MCP and DCP, we can conclude that 1-kilogram DCP=0.6 kilogram MCP. We could determine which feed phosphorus to use according to the price of corrected P. The broilers which feed MCP grow faster than the broilers that feed DCP.
2.Laying hens
The results confirmed that there is great variation in P relative biological value between feed phosphates, and the P relative biological value of laying hens is different from the index of performance. The effect of different feed phosphates applying in laying hens is that MDCP and DCP are the best of all the 4 tested sources, and the effect of MCP is better than MSP. So MDCP and DCP are the best sources of P for laying hens, but MCP is not fit for laying hens. And the granular DCP is better than other feed phosphates.
3.Pigs
The relative biological value of MCP is 18% higher than DCP in piglets. And the effect of MCP and DCP is that MCP 0.65 kilogram can take place of 1-kilogram DCP in piglets’ feed. We could determine which feed phosphorus to use according to the price of corrected P of all tested sources. The prevenient results showed that when MCP takes place of DCP in piglets’ feed, and the feed intake could improve by 16%, the average daily gain could improve 11%, and the profit could improve 40%.
4.Fish
The best of all tested feed phosphorus is MCP for fish. And the level of Non-phytate P in carp is 0.60% usually. If we add MKP in the carp’s feed, the optimum quantity is 20.2kilogram per ton.
