Advantages of calcium contained in monocalcium phosphate:
- capable to paralyze harmful effects exerted by some elements, including sodium, potassium and magnesium;
- calcium ions boost protective functions of an organism and diminish cellular permeability for bacterial toxins;
- activates digestive ferments and enhances the digestibility of substances;
- necessary for a normal functioning of the heart, nerves, muscles, and influences the availability of phosphorus and zinc contained in fodder for assimilation.
Advantages of phosphorus contained in monocalcium phosphate:
- included in the structure of nucleic acids, which serve as genetic information carriers, governs the biosynthesis of albumen and immunity;
- performs the intestinal adsorption, glycolysis and direct oxidation of hydrocarbons, renal excretion, lipid transport, amino acid metabolism and so forth;
- all the kinds of metabolism in organisms (albumen, dipid, hydrocarbon, mineral and energy ones) are inseparably linked with phosphoric acid transformations;
- as a low-reaction chemical compound, it neither attack vitamins and ferments, nor isolate amino acids and albumens, nor form non-assimilable complexes in mixed fodders;
- free from impurities of heavy metals and harmful substances.
Optimum daily rates of introduction of monocalcium phosphate into the diet for ruminants varies within the following limits, g/head:
| Type of animal | Daily rates, g/head |
| Milk cows | 30-100 |
| Bulls | 50-100 |
| Young cattle (under one year of age) | 10-35 |
| Young cattle (older than one year) | 30-60 |
| Sheep dams | 20-30 |
