AGLIME Stock Feed Supplements are an excellent concentrated source of calcium for stock and poultry.
Our range of calcium feed supplements have a calcium availability of 38.5%.
Aglime recommends at all times an animal nutritionist or stock feed expert be consulted.
Stock Feed Products are available in three different sizes relevant to applications.
.AGLIME CALGRIT
AGLIME CALGRIT is crushed and screened at 1mm to 3.5mm grit.
Ideal for combining with mash stock feeds the particle distribution (grit size) provides a high yield calcium supplement with low waste for poultry feed systems.
.AGLIME 250 Superfine
AGLIME 250 Superfine is crushed and screened to 97-99% passing at 0.25mm sieve and average particle distribution below 50% passing at 0.075mm sieve.
Ideal where quick absorption is required often used in conjunction with other materials sizes, in pellet/nut manufacture, an addition to mash & meal. Also used as a sanitising aid when cleaning pens and sheds.
.Aglime Course
Aglime Course is crushed and screened to smaller than 1mm with an average particle distribution of 75% below 0.50mm. Ideal for the inclusion as a calcium supplement in the manufacture of pellets.

Locally quarried and processed from high quality Marulan limestone (calcium carbonate) and processed in our modern plant at South Marulan.
High yield calcium carbonates (CaCO3) are measured by its percentage content of calcium carbonate. This percentage is known as the Neutralising Value (N.V.) which indicates the purity of the product.
For stock feeds and calcium supplements the Neutralising Value/Available Calcium Content are critical factors. This determines the amount of calcium carbonate in the whole mass and the minimization of other minerals which may add no value, or even be detrimental to animal health.
