Abstract
This invention relates to addition of calcium citrate-malate in the feed of young animals and poultry. Growth in young animals and poultry is rapid. During the early stages of development, a highly soluble and bioavailable source of calcium is needed for healthy growth and bone development. In addition, this invention also relates to a source of calcium in the feed of laying hens. Laying hens require large quantity of calcium for eggshell formation. While the hens can mobilize calcium from bone to supplement the dietary calcium, the mobilization is slow and inefficient. The mobilization of bone calcium is also detrimental to health of hens. Laying hens often have bone defects and inferior eggshell. The addition of calcium citrate-malate to feeds and milk replacers of young animals enhances the bioavailability calcium for growth and bone development and improves health and eggshell quality of laying hens.
