Magnesium Oxide Powder for Feed Additives

Magnesium oxide powder for feed additives have one important application: feed additives. MgO offers a high concentration of magnesium as well as excellent biological availability. Plant fertilizer and animal feeds are often deficient in the required magnesium levels for healthy animal nutrition. A supplemental source of magnesium is required to maintain healthy levels in a ruminant's diet.

For laying hens, egg production will decrease rapidly when magnesium deficiency occurs. Hypomagnesemia resulted in a large amount of bone magnesium use, smaller eggs, a lighter eggshell weight, and decreased magnesium concentration in the yolk and eggshell. The higher the concentration of Mg in eggshell, the better the eggshell quality. Generally, according to the different age groups, breeds, and poultry, the magnesium concentration of poultry feed is between 0.15% and 0.22%.

In construction, magnesium oxide is used to produce magnesium board. It has the following advantages:

1. Ecological and comfort

2. Non-toxic, inorganic, dust-free, and odorless

3. Good acoustical properties

4. The surface is smooth, warm, and non-slippery.

5. Present insecticide properties, and they discourage bacteria and fungi growth.
