CalciPhos Granular is a high-quality cost-effective calcium and phosphorus supplement for dairy cattle and young stock. This product is scientifically proven to prevent low phosphate and calcium levels and provides the ideal blend of both calcium and phosphate, giving a perfect 2:1 ratio using products that provide the calcium and phosphate in a highly available form. The high availability means maximum absorption and storage of both calcium and phosphate, leading to the best result in the animal in both the short and long term.
CalciPhos is typically used when grazing fodder beet in autumn/late lactation and spring/early lactation, when cattle can be susceptible to low calcium and phosphorous levels. CalciPhos Granular will often be used alongside or instead of our other phosphate products, such as Loose Lick Fodder Beet, MagPhos (Magnesium Phosphate) and SoluPhos.
Note: CalciPhos is also available in dusting grade.

These sources support the use of calcium and phosphorus supplementation (including DCP) when diets are short, but they do not test CalciPhos Granular as a branded product.
Guidance and research on supplementing dietary phosphorus (and related calcium supply) in dairy systems where base feeds can be low in phosphorus, including fodder beet situations and trials using dicalcium phosphate as the phosphorus source.
Dietary phosphorus supply and recommended dose rates (guidance), plus performance and response measures in trials such as dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, milk production and blood mineral measures.
Most work is either general guidance (fodder beet, phosphorus supply options) or trials using dicalcium phosphate in different diets and herds. Results depend on the starting diet, how low phosphorus is, and how consistently cows consume the supplement. Guidance also flags that delivery method can affect intake consistency (slurries, water dosing, licks).
