Full product details
Product overview
Monocalcium phosphate (MCP) is the leading phosphorus source in monogastric feed formulations — poultry, swine, aquaculture and pet food. Its high solubility in the acidic gut environment delivers superior phosphorus digestibility compared with dicalcium phosphate (DCP), allowing feed mills to meet nutritional targets at lower inclusion rates. The 22% P2O5 and 16% Ca analysis with controlled fluorine (0.2% max) satisfies EU, US and Gulf feed additive specifications.
MDCP-grade MCP also serves as a direct-application phosphate on acidic soils where calcium co-benefit buffers aluminium toxicity and unlocks fixed phosphorus. We supply from Black Sea and MENA production with mill certificates confirming P2O5, Ca, fluorine and insoluble fractions. Typical buyers include regional feed compounders, premix manufacturers, integrators sourcing mineral supplements, and fertilizer distributors serving acidic tropical cropland. HS code 2835.26.
Loading ports & logistics
FOB — loading at nominated ports on the Black Sea (Novorossiysk, Taman, Odessa region) and MENA coast (Jebel Ali, Damietta, Dammam). Vessel parcels from 500 MT in bulk holds or bagged cargo on pallets. Handysize and supramax tonnage typical for feed-phosphate routes to South Asia, East Africa and the Gulf.
CFR / CIF — ocean freight to buyer’s discharge port. We quote freight separately and align laycan with feed-mill procurement cycles. Bagged lots suit containerised delivery (20–25 MT per 20 ft container) where port infrastructure limits bulk discharge.
Typical lead time 10–20 days from contract signing to loading window. Moisture below 1.0% preserves powder flowability during transit and storage.
Packaging & documentation
Bulk vessel cargo or 25–50 kg PP woven bags with inner liner, stretch-wrapped on pallets. Each lot ships with certificate of analysis (P2O5, Ca, F, moisture, insolubles), safety data sheet, commercial invoice, packing list and full bill of lading set. Veterinary health certificate and country-of-origin declaration supplied where destination customs require them.
Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas or equivalent) available at loading port on request. Feed-mill buyers may specify additional heavy-metal screening or dioxin testing per internal quality protocols.
FAQ
Why is MCP preferred over DCP for poultry and swine feed?
MCP dissolves rapidly in the acidic gut of monogastric animals, delivering higher phosphorus digestibility per kilogram than dicalcium phosphate. Poultry and swine producers therefore achieve target P intake at lower inclusion rates, reducing feed cost per bird or head.
What fluorine limit applies to feed-grade MCP and why?
Feed-grade MCP is capped at 0.2% fluorine maximum. Excess fluorine causes dental and skeletal fluorosis in livestock. The limit aligns with EU Regulation 2017/1017 and US FDA feed additive guidance for safe inclusion in compound rations.
How is MCP shipped for international feed-mill buyers?
Parcels from 500 MT load FOB at Black Sea or MENA ports in bulk vessel holds or 25–50 kg PP bags on pallets. CFR/CIF terms cover ocean freight to the buyer’s discharge port. Each lot includes COA, veterinary certificate where required, and full commercial document set.
