Essential calcium and phosphorus for strong bones

A feed-grade dicalcium phosphate manufactured from high-purity phosphate rock and calcium sources. It is a non-toxic, free-flowing granular mineral characterised by consistent particle size, high bioavailability of phosphorus and calcium, and reliable nutrient uniformity for livestock supplementation.

Highly available forms of calcium and phosphorus

Feed-grade dicalcium phosphate sourced from reputable manufacturers and produced to strict quality standards, ensuring consistent mineral content, high bioavailability, and safe daily supplementation for horses of all ages and workloads.

Benefits of Dicalcium Phosphate for Horses: 

  • Supports strong bones and teeth
    Provides essential minerals for skeletal development and long-term soundness.

  • Helps balance calcium to phosphorus ratios
    Important for horses on pasture, hay, or grain diets that may be mineral-imbalanced.

  • Supports growing horses and young stock
    Aids correct bone formation in foals, weanlings, and yearlings.

  • Supports broodmares and stallions
    Helps meet increased mineral demands during pregnancy, lactation, and breeding.

  • Promotes overall metabolic function
    Calcium and phosphorus are vital for muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and energy metabolism.

  • Suitable for long-term supplementation
    Safe for ongoing use when fed at recommended rates as part of a balanced diet.

TYPICAL ANALYSIS: 

Calcium 23%
Phosphorus 18%

Frequently asked questions

 

What is dicalcium phosphate used for in horses?
It supplies calcium and phosphorus to help balance rations, supporting bone and tooth strength, growth, and overall structural health.

When should I supplement dicalcium phosphate?
When the base diet is low in phosphorus or the calcium:phosphorus ratio is off, which can occur with forage-heavy diets or certain grain mixes.

Is dicalcium phosphate suitable for growing horses?
Yes. Foals, weanlings, and yearlings have higher mineral demands for skeletal development, so correct balancing is particularly important.

Can broodmares use dicalcium phosphate?
Yes. Pregnancy and lactation increase calcium and phosphorus requirements. Supplementation should be based on the full ration and forage analysis where possible.

How much dicalcium phosphate do I feed per day?
A typical guide is 10 to 20 g per horse per day, adjusted to the existing diet and total mineral intake.

Can I feed too much dicalcium phosphate?
Yes. Over-supplementation can unbalance the ration and interfere with the absorption of other minerals. Keep within recommended rates unless advised by an equine nutritionist.

Does dicalcium phosphate replace a complete mineral premix?
No. It addresses calcium and phosphorus specifically. Horses still require other key minerals and vitamins depending on the diet.

Is it safe for long-term use?
Yes, when used to correct dietary shortfalls and fed at appropriate rates as part of a balanced equine nutrition program. 

How should I feed it?
Mix it thoroughly through the daily feed so intake is consistent. Introduce gradually over 3–5 days.
