250 Mesh Calcium Carbonate Powder for Animal Feed – Optimal Natural Calcium for the Philippines & Bangladesh

The livestock and aquaculture industries in both the Philippines and Bangladesh are expanding rapidly, driving demand for stable, high-quality and cost-effective mineral ingredients. 250 mesh calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) has become a widely used feed additive due to its superior calcium content, safe nutrient profile, excellent blending ability and competitive pricing.

As a feed-grade mineral sourced from high-purity limestone, 250 mesh CaCO₃ plays a vital role in poultry feed, aquafeed, and livestock feed formulas, ensuring healthy bone development, stronger eggshell quality and improved overall productivity.

1. What Is 250 Mesh Calcium Carbonate and Why Is It Essential?

250 mesh CaCO₃ refers to natural limestone powder ground to a fine particle size (around 60–80 microns) suitable for feed-grade applications.

Key functions of calcium carbonate in animal feed:

• Strengthening eggshell and skeletal structure

• Supporting growth of poultry, livestock and aquatic animals

• Maintaining proper pH balance in the digestive tract and ponds

• Preventing calcium deficiency

• Contributing to immunity and productivity

2. Production Process of Export-Standard 250 Mesh CaCO₃

High-quality feed-grade CaCO₃ requires a clean, controlled and standardized production process.

Production Steps:

- Limestone selection and quarrying

Only high-purity limestone (CaCO₃ > 98%) is selected to ensure safety and consistent calcium levels.

- Crushing and grinding

The limestone passes through a full grinding line (jaw crusher → impact crusher → roller mill) until it reaches the required 250 mesh fineness.

- Sieving and particle classification

A vibrating sieve removes oversized particles to ensure uniform granulation.

- Quality control (QC)

Typical parameters checked:

• CaCO₃ content

• Calcium concentration (>38%)

• Moisture level

• Absence of heavy metals

- Packaging and export

Finished powder is packed in 25 kg, 50 kg or jumbo bags and shipped to Manila, Cebu, Chittagong and Mongla ports.

 3. Key Advantages of Using 250 Mesh CaCO₃ in Animal Feed

- Highly absorbable natural calcium

CaCO₃ provides a clean and bioavailable source of calcium essential for:

• Strong eggshell formation

• Skeletal development

• Growth rate improvement

• Enhanced immunity

 - Optimal 250 mesh particle size for blending

The 250 mesh size offers several advantages:

• Excellent mixing with other feed ingredients

• No segregation or sedimentation in stored feed

• Higher uniformity in pellet production

• Smooth texture for both poultry and aquafeed formulations

 - Cost-effective calcium source

Compared with other calcium additives, CaCO₃ is the most affordable mineral supplement, allowing feed mills to:

• Reduce formulation costs

• Maintain product quality

• Improve profit margins

This is particularly valuable in cost-sensitive markets like the Philippines and Bangladesh.

 - Stable and reliable supply from Vietnam

Vietnam is one of Asia’s leading limestone hubs, known for:

• Large deposits

• High whiteness

• Stable chemical composition

• Competitive export prices

This ensures feed mills have a long-term, uninterrupted supply.

 Applications of 250 Mesh CaCO₃ in the Feed Industry

  - Poultry feed (layers & broilers)

 Improves eggshell hardness

 Supports bone formation

 Enhances growth and feed efficiency

 - Aquafeed (shrimp, fish, crab)

 Stabilizes pH in ponds

 Supplies minerals for shell/hard exoskeleton development

 Boosts survival rate and growth

 - Livestock feed (swine, cattle, goats)

 Corrects calcium deficiency

 Supports muscle and bone growth

 Enhances metabolic stability

 5. Why Feed Mills in the Philippines & Bangladesh Prefer Vietnamese CaCO₃?

- Competitive pricing

Vietnam offers some of the lowest-cost calcium carbonate in Asia.

- High purity & whiteness

Quality parameters:

 CaCO₃: 98–99%

 Ca: >38%

 Low MgO and impurities

- Fast and consistent shipping routes

Regular shipments to:

 Manila, Cebu, Davao

 Chittagong, Mongla
