Buyer intent coverage
Dicalcium phosphate (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Dicalcium phosphate carries less phosphorus and more calcium than MCP and is the workhorse phosphate of ruminant mineral programmes and general-purpose feeds. Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlot supplement manufacturers, Ontario–Quebec dairy mineral blenders and Prairie mineral pellet producers form the core Canadian demand, with additional volume from poultry and swine mills where solubility is less critical than delivered phosphorus cost.
Primary uses
- Supplying phosphorus and calcium in ruminant mineral supplements
- General-purpose phosphorus supplementation in livestock feeds
- Mineral pellet, block and lick manufacture
Applications
- Feedlot and dairy mineral supplements
- Beef and sheep pasture mineral programmes
- Poultry and swine feeds where DCP is the specified phosphate
Advantages
- Balanced calcium and phosphorus contribution in a single ingredient
- Robust, free-flowing material suited to pelleting and block manufacture
- Broad supply base and well-understood specification
Limitations to consider
- Lower phosphorus solubility than MCP, which matters most in young monogastrics
- Anhydrous and dihydrate forms behave differently and are separate specifications
- Fluorine content is a defining feed constraint and is supplier-declared
How to choose the right grade
- State whether the specification is the dihydrate or anhydrous form
- Confirm the phosphorus availability basis used for the target species
- Check pellet durability and abrasion behaviour if the mineral is pelleted
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent specification they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on declared content, physical form and documentation rather than on the material name alone.
Typical grades
- Feed grade DCP dihydrate
- Feed grade DCP anhydrous
- Granular mineral-blend grade
Comparable materials — how Dicalcium phosphate (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- MCP where higher solubility is required
- MDCP as an intermediate phosphorus source
- Defluorinated phosphate where the mineral programme specifies it
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Dicalcium phosphate (feed grade)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Declared total phosphorus and calcium, with the analytical method
- Phosphorus solubility or availability basis used in the matrix
- Fluorine and heavy metal limits for feed use
- Particle size, bulk density and flow for mill intake
- Dihydrate or anhydrous form
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg multi-wall paper or PP bag — the standard mill-floor format
- Jumbo / FIBC bulk bag for high-volume mill intake
- Bulk truck or rail where the receiving mill has compatible intake
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store sealed, dry, off the floor and away from heat and direct sunlight
- Keep feed grade physically segregated from food and technical grades
- Rotate stock, re-close partial bags and record batch numbers against each blend
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact feed grade offered
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production batch
- Feed-ingredient declaration and label statements the receiving mill needs
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of dicalcium phosphate in feed+
DCP supplies both phosphorus and calcium in a single ingredient, which suits ruminant and mineral blend formulations where both are required. Its phosphorus availability is lower than MCP, and the anhydrous and dihydrate forms do not behave identically.
Specifying the grade+
Confirm the hydration state as well as the declared analysis: anhydrous and dihydrate DCP differ in both phosphorus content and stability during storage. Fluorine limits and granulation should also be stated because they are set by the species and the dosing system.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, declared content, physical form and any carrier or coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
Is DCP supplied anhydrous or as the dihydrate?+
Both are traded and they differ in declared analysis; the form is confirmed on the supplier technical data sheet with the quotation.
Is this quoted as feed grade material?+
Yes. Feed grade is quoted as a separate specification from food or technical grade, with its own documentation for the exact material offered.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver to feed mills across Canada?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
