Calprona CP
Calprona CP prevents spoilage and recontamination of animal feed, improves the digestibility of the feed (resulting in higher feed efficiency) and acts as an additional source of minerals and energy. Calprona CP can be added directly to animal feed in the dry form or it can be dissolved in water before application. It is very pure and dissolves easily without any insolubles. Calprona CP makes sure the nutritional content of the feed product is preserved and the period the feed can be used is extended. By preventing growth of molds, it also prevents the formation of mycotoxins which can cause mycotoxicosis.
