Introduction:
- Calcium and phosphorus are crucial in animals.
- Deficiency leads to various negative effects like weakness, negative energy balance, skeletal abnormalities, and reduced milk production.
- Lack of calcium and phosphorus affects growth, weight gain, lactation period, and economic losses in livestock farming.
Types of Calcium:
- Organic calcium (from natural sources) and inorganic calcium.
- Inorganic calcium doesn’t get absorbed well in the body.
- Organic calcium is stored in muscles and bones, supporting growth and health
Importance of Calcium and Phosphorus in Animals:
- Essential for overall health in animals.
- Insufficient levels can lead to various negative effects like weakness, energy imbalance, and bone issues.
- Kancal-P is made using the MCHC process
- This process ensures the natural sources of calcium and phosphorus are preserved.
- It involves treating bones in a lab to remove impurities and make the calcium and phosphorus bioavailable.
Composition:
- Each 5 gm of Kancal-P contains: Calcium – 165mg, Phosphorus – 75mg, Vitamin D3 – 500 IU.
- Organic calcium ensures better absorption (60% to 70%) in the body.
Benefits
- Suitable for animals with calcium and phosphorus deficiency, including pregnant animals
- Improves milk production and overall health.
- Helps in addressing symptoms like eating dirt, stones, or plastics (pica).
- Promotes growth in young animals and strengthens bones, ligaments, and muscles
- Increases the fat percentage in milk, leading to economic benefits for farmers
Dosage
Dosage varies based on animal size:
- 30 gm to 50 gm for large animals
- 10 gm for small animals
- 5 gm to 10 gm for dogs and cats
