Magnesium Oxide
purpose
Magnesium Oxide (MgO), also known as magnesia, is a white, alkaline, hygroscopic solid mineral obtained from the calcination of magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide, widely used for its refractory, nutritional, and medicinal properties; it serves as a raw material in steel, cement, and glass industries due to its high melting point, is incorporated in fertilizers and animal feed as a magnesium supplement, and is used pharmaceutically as an antacid and laxative, while also finding applications in environmental protection (flue gas treatment), construction materials, and rubber and plastics as a stabilizer and filler.
Applications of Magnesium Oxide
- Helps to maintain optimal rumen pH, especially when the feed lacks sufficient fibre.
- Enhances milk fat concentration, improving the overall quality and value of dairy production.
- Acts as a key mineral for calcium mobilization and supports gut absorption in cows.
- Suitable for use in premixes, mineral blends, and complete mixed feeds.
Advantages of Magnesium Oxide
- High-purity magnesium source.
- Excellent bioavailability and digestibility.
- Free from toxic heavy metals.
- Enhances animal health and productivity.
