Calcium Salts Product Case
Calcium salts provide rigidity to bones and teeth. Without mineral deposits in the bone, the organic extracellular matrix (osteoid) would be weak and flexible, and the skeleton would be unable to bear weight.
Calcium Salts
Calcium is also essential for optimum milk production and growth rate. Calcium is one of the main components of bone and so is an important but often overlooked factor in achieving proper growth in young cattle. Growth rate is slower if calcium intake is inadequate. Where intake is severely deficient rickets, weak skeleton or even bone fractures are possible.
Supplements such as maize or cereal silages or grain, while providing more energy and hence ideally complementing high protein grass or plugging feed deficits, contain little or no calcium, amongst other things. Failure to provide all of the nutrients required for milk production, regardless of total energy or total dry-matter intake will limit milk production and profitability.
Palmitic Calcium Salt
Palmitic Calcium Salt, a calcium-based fat supplement, has emerged as an indispensable component in modern livestock nutrition, particularly for dairy cattle. This compound synergizes the energy-dense properties of palmitic acid with the structural and metabolic benefits of calcium, creating a dual-function additive that optimizes both energy supply and overall health. Research indicates that lactating dairy cows require a consistent supply of dietary energy to sustain milk production and avoid metabolic disorders, particularly during the early lactation period when energy demands are at their peak.
Palmitic Calcium Salt addresses this challenge by providing a concentrated source of bypass fat, designed to avoid rumen degradation and deliver energy directly to the intestine for efficient absorption. Studies show that feeding dairy cows with calcium salts of fatty acids, such as Palmitic Calcium Salt, can increase milk fat yield by up to 0.8% and improve total milk production by approximately 2-4 kg per day. These gains are particularly valuable in the context of global dairy markets, where optimizing milk yield directly correlates with profitability.
Key Benefits
Improved Milk Yield and Quality
Palmitic Calcium Salt boosts milk production by enhancing the energy content in the feed. Higher energy intake translates to increased milk fat content and overall yield.
Optimal Energy Balance
In lactating cows, maintaining energy balance is critical for health and productivity. Palmitic Calcium Salt helps bridge the energy gap, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders.
Better Calcium Absorption
The calcium in Palmitic Calcium Salt supports strong bones and overall health in livestock. This dual-action ingredient combines energy and nutritional support.
Nutritional Requirements
Of the macromineral requirements of dairy cattle, calcium is most often considered due to its roles in skeletal structure, metabolism, and milk. Calcium requirements of lactating dairy cows are high relative to other species or to nonlactating cows because of the high calcium concentration in milk.
Due to its tight homeostatic control, blood calcium concentration is very consistent within cows of specific age groups. Dietary calcium supplementation amounts and ratio are important in young growing animals in support of bone development and in lactating cows for milk production. Early lactation often results in a period of negative calcium balance resulting in bone mobilization.
