What are the calcium sources in piglet feed?

Let's talk about calcium sources in piglet feed
In piglet feed, what is better to use for calcium supplementation? Dicalcium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate--------, which one has the best cost performance?
--------------------------------------
I remember when we raised pigs at home, we would always add some calcium tablets, very cheap
--------------------------------------
Limestone powder is undoubtedly the cheapest calcium source. Limestone powder is 100 yuan per ton, with a calcium content of over 35%. Dicalcium phosphate contains 21% calcium, 2000 yuan per ton, which one has better cost performance?
--------------------------------------
Limestone powder is obviously the most cost-effective, it's just that in suckling piglet feed, calcium lactate is used because it is well absorbed, has low acid-binding capacity, and gives good results.

--------------------------------------
When considering the cost performance of raw materials, you can't just consider the raw material itself alone; you also have to consider the degree of impact on other raw materials after adding this raw material and the cost required to reduce that impact. So a formula itself is not a simple combination of several raw materials, and the consideration of cost performance must also place a certain raw material into the formula as a whole to consider the size of its value.
--------------------------------------
Supplementing calcium lactate is of course a relatively ideal calcium source, but supplementing limestone powder is the most economical and most cost-effective calcium source.
--------------------------------------
Use calcium formate, the price isn't very high, and the effect is also quite good, many companies are using it!

A few days ago I learned the inside story of calcium lactate, which is limestone powder plus dicalcium phosphate and then adding lactic acid according to the ratio. In that case, we might as well use limestone powder and add acidifiers, and we can also use fermented soybean meal.

People doing business this way are too unscrupulous. But there really are quite a lot of them.6 `. l0 V( ^8 |: q% M8 ?4 T- `2 Z& S
I feel it's still a bit more reliable to use conventional quality, sigh

Right, so I still choose calcium carbonate now.

Calcium lactate is well absorbed, limestone powder is economical, adjust according to conditions.
