Magnesium Hydroxide - Feed Ingredient
Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It appears as a white, odorless powder and is sparingly soluble in water. In equine feed and supplement formulations, it is primarily used as a source of elemental magnesium and occasionally as a buffering agent.
