Calcium plays many essential roles in animal and poultry
nutrition. In general, it is required for:
• proper development of bones and teeth
• regulation of heartbeat and blood clotting
• muscle contraction and nerve impulses
• enzyme activation and hormone secretion
• eggshell formation and quality
• reproductive functions (uterine retraction)
• milk production
SWINE
In both growing and finishing hogs, optimum skeletal
formation is essential for production efficiencies. FreFlo (blend of large to
small granular calcium carbonate) and Unical-S (small granular) are utilized in
complete feeds and concentrates. Unical-S also is used in pelleted feed for
swine. The same ILC products are used for breeding herds of sows and boars.
