Lime

Lime, in the form of calcium carbonate, is a mineral that is commonly found in nature, especially in rocks such as limestone and marble. It is extracted by heating calcium-containing minerals and is an important ingredient in many animal feeds. Lime is essential for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth in animals.

Traditionally, lime is used in the diets of various animals, including dogs, chickens, and horses. In dogs, it can contribute to a healthy bone structure, while in chickens it aids in eggshell formation. For horses, lime is important for their overall mineral balance and can assist in digestion.

The benefits of lime in animal feed are diverse, such as promoting healthy growth and supporting mineral balance. It can also contribute to optimal absorption of other nutrients. When using lime, it is important to maintain the correct amounts, depending on the specific needs of the animal.
