MAP feed material

Monoammonium phosphate is an excellent source of phosphorus for polygastric livestock (cows, sheep, and goats) because their diet requires not only protein, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins, but also minerals such as phosphorus. Phosphorus is known as part of nucleic acids that serve as carriers of genetic information and also participates in the processes of protein biosynthesis and helps immune system reinforcement. In addition, phosphorus in feed additives of inorganic origin can be absorbed by animals no worse than phosphorus of organic origin, which is confirmed by the fact that phosphorus in monoammonium phosphate shows the highest percentage of uptake among feed phosphates (over 91%). The use of this feed additive for enriching and balancing the nutrition of livestock as regards phosphorus, which allows reducing the risk of diseases associated with the lack of this element, contributes to the normalisation of metabolism in the body and the effective functioning of the immune and reproductive systems. The introduction of monoammonium phosphate into the diet of animals as a source of phosphorus for livestock can improve the quality of meat, increase daily weight gain as well as milk production.
