MGP

MGP is a magnesium phosphate (Mg 26%, P 14%) specially developed for use in feeding ruminants. Its benefits are a high availability of magnesium, good solubility, palatability and low reactivity with other ingredients. Despite the normal additions of magnesium to the ration, ruminants generally show symptoms of deficiency of this mineral, insufficient intake of which often leads to hypomagnesemia or tetany. In fact, the classic sources of magnesium used are often in short supply and not very palatable, leading to very low intake. Also, unwanted reactions can occur when different minerals and acids are mixed with magnesium oxide. The combination of phosphorus and magnesium with the use of MGP is thus very efficient in the diet of animals.
