Magnesium Calcium Carbonate - Feed Ingredient

Magnesium calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral compound that combines calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). It is often derived from geological sources such as dolomite, a type of sedimentary rock composed primarily of these two carbonates.

In equine feed formulations, magnesium calcium carbonate is primarily used as a source of calcium and magnesium—two essential macro-minerals involved in a wide range of physiological functions. Calcium plays a key role in skeletal development, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. Magnesium is necessary for enzyme function, muscle and nerve function, and energy metabolism.
