Home Feeds Ingredients Calcium Calcium Lactate

Calcium Lactate - Feed Ingredient

Calcium lactate is a calcium salt of lactic acid, typically produced through the neutralization of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. It appears as a white, crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water. This compound is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical applications as a calcium source and acidity regulator.

In equine nutrition, calcium lactate serves as a bioavailable source of supplemental calcium. It is included in feeds or supplements to help meet dietary calcium requirements, particularly when forage calcium levels are low or when the diet has an imbalanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. Calcium is essential for bone structure, muscle function, nerve transmission, and various enzymatic processes.

Compared to other calcium salts such as calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate, calcium lactate offers moderate calcium concentration by weight but is more soluble, which can enhance its absorption in the digestive tract. I

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Calcium Lactate as an ingredient.
