What is Dicalcium Phosphate used for in animal feed?

Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) is a feed-grade source of phosphorus and calcium, widely used in poultry, swine, ruminant and aquaculture diets to support bone development, eggshell quality and mineral balance.

What is the phosphorus content of your feed-grade DCP?

Our Dicalcium Phosphate contains minimum 17% phosphorus, with calcium around 20% and fluorine limited to below 1800 mg/kg per feed-grade specification.

Is DCP suitable for shrimp and aquaculture feed?

Yes. DCP can be used as a mineral nutrition source in shrimp and fish feed formulations, supporting calcium and phosphorus requirements. Actual inclusion depends on the complete diet formulation.

How is your DCP packaged for export?

DCP is supplied in 25kg woven bags or 1000kg jumbo bags, loaded in 20GP or 40HQ containers from main Chinese ports, with COA attached to every shipment.

What documents do you provide with each DCP shipment?

We provide Certificate of Analysis (COA), commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading and Phytosanitary Certificate. Third-party inspection can be arranged before shipment.

Applicability

Dicalcium Phosphate 17% (DCP)

Feed-grade calcium and phosphorus supplement for animal nutrition

Product introduction: Dicalcium Phosphate is a feed-grade calcium and phosphorus supplement. It provides easily absorbed calcium and phosphorus for poultry, aquaculture and ruminants, supporting bone development, eggshell quality and normal growth.

Nutritional value

Phosphorus content of more than 17% and calcium content of more than 20%, with a balanced Ca:P ratio and high availability;
Calcium is the main component of bones and eggshells, while phosphorus supports energy metabolism and cell function;
Fine and uniform powder, easy to mix with other feed ingredients;
Supports eggshell hardness in layers, bone strength in broilers, and molting and growth in shrimp.

Suitable for

Poultry: broilers, layers (better eggshell quality) and ducks;
Aquaculture: vannamei shrimp (supports molting), tilapia, sea bass, etc.;
Ruminants: dairy cows, beef cattle, buffalo and goats.

Advantages

Balanced calcium and phosphorus (P≥17%, Ca≥20%) – supplies both minerals in a suitable Ca:P ratio for complete feed formulation.

Highly available phosphorus – supports bone development, eggshell formation and normal mineral metabolism.

Fine uniform powder – easy to mix evenly in mash and pellet feeds.

Suitable for all major species – poultry, swine, aquaculture and ruminant diets.

Third-party COA on every batch – phosphorus, calcium, fluorine and heavy metal results available.

Consistent quality – stable particle size and moisture for storage and processing.
