Mono-Dicalcium Phosphate — Feed Grade (MDCP)
Allzone Trading supplies feed grade mono-dicalcium phosphate to feed mills and premix producers in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. The mono-to-di ratio, declared phosphorus and calcium content and granulation differ between producers and are confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.

Buyer intent coverage
Mono-dicalcium phosphate (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Mono-dicalcium phosphate sits between MCP and DCP on both phosphorus content and solubility, and it is bought most often as a substitution or second-source option when the phosphate market moves. Ontario and Quebec poultry and swine mills and Prairie premix and mineral blenders are the main Canadian buyers, and they compare it strictly on delivered available phosphorus rather than on product name, because the matrix treatment differs from both MCP and DCP.
Primary uses
- Supplying available phosphorus in monogastric and ruminant feeds
- Substituting between MCP and DCP as market conditions change
- Mineral premix and concentrate manufacture
Applications
- Poultry and swine complete feeds
- Ruminant mineral supplements
- Premix and concentrate blending
Advantages
- Intermediate solubility gives formulation flexibility
- Often the practical second-source option against MCP
- Handles and doses like the other granular feed phosphates
Limitations to consider
- The mono-to-di ratio varies between suppliers and changes the matrix
- Not a drop-in replacement for MCP without recalculation
- Fluorine and heavy metal limits are supplier-declared
How to choose the right grade
- Ask for the declared phosphorus and the mono-to-di proportion behind it
- Recalculate the matrix rather than substituting on tonnage
- Confirm particle size for bulk intake and mixing
- 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 MDCP granular
- Feed grade MDCP powder
Comparable materials — how Mono-dicalcium phosphate (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- MCP for maximum solubility
- DCP for a higher calcium contribution
- Phytase inclusion to reduce inorganic phosphate demand
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Mono-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
- Mono-to-di proportion behind the declared phosphorus
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 mono-dicalcium phosphate in feed+
MDCP is a mixed phosphate that sits between MCP and DCP: it carries a portion of the highly available monocalcium form while retaining the handling and cost profile closer to dicalcium phosphate. That combination is why it is chosen where MCP availability is wanted at a lower calcium-to-phosphorus imbalance.
Specifying the grade+
Because the mono-to-di ratio varies by producer, two MDCP products with the same headline phosphorus figure can perform differently. State the declared P, Ca and availability basis your matrix uses so an equivalent product is quoted.
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
How is MDCP different from MCP and DCP?+
It is a mixed mono/di product; the ratio varies by producer and is declared on the supplier technical data sheet.
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.
