Description

What is feed grade Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate?
Feed Grade Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is a vital nutritional additive used to address magnesium deficiencies in animals, particularly ruminants. Its efficacy depends on strict quality control, proper storage, and precise formulation within balanced feed rations.

Core Features
1.High Purity
Contains ≥ 98% Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate (MgCl₂·6H₂O), ensuring minimal impurities.
2.Bioavailable Magnesium Source
Provides highly absorbable magnesium (≥ 11.5% elemental Mg), critical for metabolic functions and enzyme activation.
3.Superior Hygroscopicity Management
Engineered with anti-caking agents or specialized packaging to mitigate moisture absorption issues during storage.
4.Ruminant-Specific Benefits
Rapidly prevents and treats hypomagnesemia (grass tetany) in cattle and sheep.
Enhances magnesium bioavailability in pasture-based feeding systems.
5.Multi-Species Applicability
Effective for poultry (improves eggshell quality), swine (bone development), and aquaculture (electrolyte balance).
6.Synergistic Mineral Compatibility
Formulated to balance with calcium and potassium, reducing antagonistic effects in feed blends.
7.Physical Form Options
Available as flakes, crystals, or micro-granules for easy mixing in premixes and complete feeds.
Why is it Added to Animal Feed?
1.Metabolic Efficiency
Supports energy metabolism, nerve function, and skeletal health across animal species.
2.Storage Stability
Maintains potency under recommended conditions (cool, dry, sealed environments) despite inherent hygroscopicity.

Application
1.Ruminant Nutrition
Prevention of Hypomagnesemia: Specifically used for grazing ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep) to effectively prevent and treat grass tetany.
Magnesium Supplement: Added to mineral blocks or concentrated feed to address magnesium deficiency in pasture.
2.Poultry Production
Improvement of Eggshell Quality: Enhances magnesium-dependent enzyme activity during eggshell calcification, improving shell thickness and strength.
Growth Promotion: Participates in energy metabolism and improves feed conversion rate.
3.Swine Farming
Bone Development: Works synergistically with calcium and phosphorus to support healthy bone growth.
Stress Management: Regulates electrolyte balance, reducing transport and weaning stress.
4.Aquafeed
Osmotic Pressure Regulation: Helps fish and shrimp maintain osmotic balance, especially during transitions between freshwater and seawater.
Molting of Crustaceans: Supports the molting process and shell hardening in shrimp and crabs.
