Limestone

Animal feed Limestone

Midatlantic produces a high quality limestone for animal feed. Limestone provides the essential element of calcium that is needed for proper bone development in animals. Calcium is also essential to the formation of egg shells in chickens. Farmers require high calcium levels (+95% CaCO₃) and reliable particle size in their animal feed to maintain proper quality requirements in the production of food. Midatlantic’s Limestone surpasses 95% CaCO₃

Animal feeds containing limestone are primarily for chickens (meat birds & laying hens), turkeys, and pigs.
