Elemental Calcium is needed by animals to grow, develop and re-produce. It plays an essential role in the metabolic process, retention and conversion of nutrients and regulates cell activity. Calcium is also very important for bone/teeth formation and smooth muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency can cause low growth rates, bone development problems, reduced milk yield, displaced abomasum’s and milk fever. A lesser known fact is that it can also cause urinary calculi in male animals, (intact or castrated). It is also vital for poultry to support healthy digestion and the strengthen and harden shells.
