Calcium Chloride - Feed Ingredient
Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt composed of calcium and chlorine, with the chemical formula CaCl₂. It is highly soluble in water and is commonly produced as a byproduct in the Solvay process or by direct neutralization of hydrochloric acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. It is available in several forms, including flakes, pellets, and solutions.
In equine nutrition, calcium chloride is used as a supplemental source of calcium, particularly in liquid feed supplements or in products where rapid solubility and absorption are desired. It delivers calcium in a highly bioavailable form and is also used to adjust dietary electrolyte levels due to its chloride content. However, its strong salty and slightly bitter taste can limit palatability if included at high levels.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Calcium Chloride as an ingredient.

Calcium Chloride Dihydrate
Bone HealthElectrolyteIngredientMuscleCalcium chloride is an inorganic form of calcium that is safe to use in equine diets. The dihydrate form of calcium chloride is bound to water. Calcium and phosphorus need to be provided in proper balance within the diet based on the horse's physiological status.
