Product Details:

Magnesium Oxide Powder is an essential nutrient for all animals, serving a variety of vital functions within the body. In dairy cattle, magnesium also helps raise the butterfat content of the milk and neutralizes acidosis caused by high amounts of grain in their diet. The balance of magnesium performs an important role in utilization of calcium, which is released from bone into the bloodstream.

A white, hygroscopic and solid mineral called Magnesia or magnesium oxide is a popular source of magnesium and a vital nutrient for all animals. Magnesium oxide is responsible for a number of crucial body functions.

Inadequate magnesium in animal diets results in several disorders, including the severe metabolic disorder ‘Grass Tetany’. Magnesium is also integral to the production of fat in milk, utilization of calcium and prevention of acidosis, all of which are affected by low magnesium levels.

Since grass found in pastures generally lacks magnesium, supplementing it is animal diets is necessary.

 

Areas of application:

Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Sesquicarbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate are used to control the acid-base balance of cosmetic products. In cosmetics and personal care products, Sodium Bicarbonate may also be used as an abrasive, a deodorant agent, and an oral care agent.

 

Washing soda, soda ash, soda crystals are other names for Sodium Carbonate. Typically, this compound occurs as crystalline heptahydrate, a form that spontaneously effloresces to form white, odourless, hygroscopic powder.

 

Domestically, Sodium carbonate is popular as a water softener, as it can form a moderately basic solution in water. Additionally, Sodium Carbonate is also used to manufacture glass. This salt acts as a flux or silica and effectively lowers the melting point of the slurry making the process easier to curate.

 

Sodium carbonate can be extracted from ashes of plants cultivated in Sodium-laden soil. Hence the name soda ash, for sodium carbonate. Apart from these, Sodium carbonate also has important uses in the food, chemical and cosmetic industries.

 

Areas of application:

• Cosmetic industry
• Food industry – lyeing.
• Laundry industry – water softener.
• Manufacturing industry – glass manufacture.
• Chemical industry – electrolytes.

 

Qualities:

• Hygroscopic
• Odourless
• Flux (reduces melting point)

Product Details:

Dextrose Monohydrate is generally used in food industry, pharmaceutical companies and cattle and poultry feed industry. This is basically a type of sugar that is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and comes in free-flowing white.

Product Details:

The high oil content sunflower meal is an excellent feed source for dairy. Most modern dairies supplement fat in feed rations for lactating cows. The high fat sunflower meal eliminates the need for some or all of the fat supplement requirements.

 

Sunflower extract is an economical and high-quality feed for animals. Also referred to as sunflower meal or diary meal, this animals food source is known for being a balanced nutrition provider that in turn ensures high yield in milk year round. Sunflower extract is one of the best sources of protein for livestock – chicken, cattle and pigs. It is also rich in fiber, oil, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin B. A complete source for nutrition, sunflower extract can act as substitute for other food, eliminating the need for additional feeding.

 

Areas of application:

• Animal feed – nutrition source

Qualities:

• Complete food
• Protein-rich
• Fiber-rich

Product Details:

Bentonite Powder is used as a binder in the feed pelletizing industry. By absorbing excess moisture and oils, bentonite aids in the free movement of pellets, preventing lumping and caking. Research indicates that bentonite has additional benefits for both animals as well as poultry. Bentonite used in the feed slows the digestive system and enables the animal or fowl to better utilize the feed nutrients.

 

Bentonite is an absorbent Aluminium Silicate Clay mineral formed from Volcanic Ash used in various Adhesive, Cement Ceramic Fillers. Different varieties of Bentonite exist, with different dominant elements, namely, potassium, sodium, calcium and aluminium.

 

Bentonite is usually sourced from weathering of volcanic ash, reacting with water in its surroundings. Commercially, two classes of Bentonite are popular, the sodium dominant bentonite and the calcium dominant bentonite.

 

Major industrial uses of bentonite include, drilling mud, binding, purifying and adsorption as a ground water barrier.

Areas of application:

• Animal feed – purifier.
• Construction industry – drilling mud, binding.
• Water treatment industry – purifying, adsorbents.

Qualities:

• Adsorbent
• Purifier
• Binder
