Di-Calcium Phosphate Powder

Dicalcium phosphate (DCP) is a readily available source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals for horses, and is used as a dietary supplement in equine feeds, particularly for horses with dietary deficiencies or specific needs like growth, pregnancy, and lactation

Why is it important for horses?

• Bone Health: Calcium and phosphorus are crucial for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth.
• Metabolic Functions: These minerals play a role in various metabolic processes, including muscle function, nerve function, and energy production.
• Growth and Development: Young, growing foals, pregnant mares, and lactating mares have increased needs for calcium and phosphorus.

When might a horse need DCP?

• Dietary Deficiencies: If a horse's diet is low in calcium or phosphorus, DCP can help address these deficiencies.
• Specific Needs: Growing foals, pregnant mares, and lactating mares may require additional calcium and phosphorus to support their needs.
• Performance Horses: Horses involved in strenuous activities may benefit from supplemental calcium and phosphorus to support their energy and muscle function.
