Monocalcium Phosphate, MCP

Monocalcium phosphate produced by Lifosa is used as a raw material for animal or bird feed.

Calcium-enriched feed contributes to the formation of firm bone tissue and skeleton. Phosphorus improves energy and protein metabolism, reproduction, functioning of the nervous and immune systems, and increases animals' reproductive abilities.

We produce Monocalcium phosphate in compliance with GMP+ B1 Good Manufacturing Practice standard. This ensures the quality and safety of the food throughout the food chain.

 

We produce nearly 202,000 tonnes of Monocalcium phosphate annually.
