The Importance of Calcium in Poultry Nutrition

In the growing Indonesia poultry industry, feed quality is the key factor that determines animal health, production yield, and farm profitability. One of the most critical minerals in poultry feed is calcium, primarily supplied in the form of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃).

Calcium plays a fundamental role in:

• 🦴 Bone and skeletal development

• 🥚 Eggshell formation

• ⚖️ Enzyme activation and metabolism balance

Without sufficient calcium, poultry may experience soft bones, reduced laying performance, and thin eggshells, leading to significant production losses.

That’s why Feed Grade Coarse Calcium Carbonate has become a vital mineral ingredient in modern animal feed formulations, ensuring both nutritional balance and cost efficiency.

Benefits of Using Coarse Calcium Carbonate in Animal Feed

a. Stronger Bones and Eggshell Quality

The main function of calcium carbonate is to supply calcium for skeletal mineralization and eggshell formation. In laying hens, coarse CaCO₃ particles dissolve gradually in the digestive tract, releasing calcium slowly and ensuring continuous calcium availability during night-time shell formation.
👉 Result: Thicker eggshells, lower breakage rate, and longer laying cycles.

 b. Improved Feed Conversion Efficiency

Using the correct calcium source and particle size contributes to better digestion and absorption. The 0.5–2 mm coarse particles provide slower dissolution, reducing calcium waste and enhancing feed conversion ratio (FCR).
In broilers, it supports strong bone structure, preventing leg disorders and improving overall feed efficiency.

 c. Supports Optimal Growth and Performance

Calcium carbonate also regulates acid–base balance and enzymatic activity in poultry metabolism. When combined with phosphorus, it maintains ideal Ca:P ratio (2:1), optimizing nutrient uptake and growth rate.

 d. Cost-Effective and Environmentally Sustainable

Compared to synthetic calcium sources, natural limestone-based CaCO₃ offers:

• High purity with minimal impurities

• Competitive pricing for feed mills

• Lower carbon footprint due to local sourcing

• Fully recyclable packaging

Thus, Feed Grade CaCO₃ becomes both an economical and eco-friendly mineral additive for feed producers in Indonesia.

🏭 Manufacturing Process of Feed Grade Calcium Carbonate

- Raw Material Selection – Only pure limestone (CaCO₃ >98%) from certified quarries is used.

- Crushing & Grinding – The limestone is crushed into specific particle sizes (0.5–2 mm coarse or 250 mesh fine).

- Washing & Drying – To remove clay, dust, and moisture, ensuring high purity.

- Screening & Classification – Strict control to achieve uniform granule size distribution.

- Quality Inspection – Each batch is analyzed for chemical composition and heavy metal content.

- Packaging & Storage – Hygienic packing in moisture-proof bags to prevent contamination.

🌿 Our factory operates under ISO 9001 and HACCP systems, equipped with European technology for grinding, screening, and quality testing.

 Applications in the Indonesia Poultry Industry

a. Layer Feed Formulation

• Provides calcium for eggshell formation

• Reduces cracked eggs and improves shell uniformity

b. Broiler Feed

• Ensures proper bone growth

• Enhances skeletal strength and growth uniformity

c. Duck, Quail, and Breeder Feed

• Stabilizes mineral balance and reproductive performance

d. Aquaculture Feed

• Used as a pH stabilizer and mineral source for shrimp and fish culture

🇮🇩 In the Indonesia poultry sector, consistent calcium supply is crucial due to high production cycles and tropical conditions that affect mineral absorption. Feed Grade CaCO₃ is now an indispensable component in feed formulations for large-scale feed mills and integrated farms.

Technical Comparison: Coarse vs Fine CaCO₃

Feature	Coarse CaCO₃ (0.5–2mm)	Fine CaCO₃ (250 mesh)
Absorption Rate	Slow, steady	Fast
Feed Application	Layers, breeders	Broilers, piglets
Effect on Eggshells	Stronger, thicker shells	Less effective
Mixing in Feed	Improves uniformity	Enhances homogeneity
Best Use	Long-term calcium release	Quick dietary balance

The Indonesia poultry industry is projected to grow at >5% CAGR through 2030, driven by rising protein consumption and feed innovation.
According to local feed associations, the country’s annual feed production exceeds 20 million tons, with calcium carbonate consumption surpassing 300,000 tons per year.

This trend creates strong opportunities for reliable suppliers of feed-grade minerals, particularly high-purity coarse CaCO₃, which remains a cornerstone of balanced poultry nutrition.
