Applications

Calcium carbonate is a core mineral in layer diets for eggshell strength, while zeolite helps bind mycotoxins in broiler grain rations.

Calcium carbonate supplements dairy and beef cattle rations to support bone health and milk production.

Zeolite improves water quality and ammonia control in pond systems while calcium carbonate supports shell and skeletal development in shrimp and fish.

Both materials are used at low inclusion rates as a mineral source and natural odor/toxin control additive in dry pet food.

Zeolite's adsorption capacity and calcium carbonate's binding contribution improve pellet durability and reduce mycotoxin risk across feed types.
