Tricalcium Phosphate Supplier South Africa

What Is Tricalcium Phosphate?

Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is an inorganic mineral compound serving as a concentrated source of both calcium and phosphorus in animal nutrition. It occurs as a fine, odourless white powder that blends readily into compound feed, mineral premixes, and pelleted diets for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture species.

Calcium and Phosphorus Nutrition

Calcium and phosphorus are the two most abundant minerals in the body, playing critical roles in skeletal development, eggshell quality, muscle contraction, and energy metabolism. TCP provides both macrominerals in a single ingredient, simplifying premix formulation and improving the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in final feeds.
