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:

• Animal feed
• Construction industry – cement manufacture.

Qualities:

• Hygroscopic
• High stability
• Purifier

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

Product Details:

A complete food with protein, starch and digestible fibre, maize gluten is in high demand as animal feed. It is known to contain building blocks required to improve yield in terms of milk, protein and fats.

 

Popular as pet food, maize gluten is an excellent source of amino acids like cysteine. Most livestock and poultry feeds have, maize gluten as a component.

Areas of application:

• Animal feed – nutrients, protein sources.

Qualities:

• Cysteine-rich
• Protein-rich
• Fibre-rich

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)
