Description
|
calcined magnesium oxide is a highly reactive calcined Cryptocrystalline magnesite, produced under closely controlled conditions and precision milled to a superfine particle size, achieving maximum surface area and high chemical reactivity.

|
Uses
|
calcined magnesium oxide is widely used in the dairy industry for dosing of dairy cattle in combating grass tetany (hypomagnesaemia) and to assist in milk fat production where subclinical hypomagnesaemia exists. Ref: Ag Fact Sheet No 401/652. An aqueous slurry applied daily by drench gun provides a quick, clean, positive and economical method of application. XLM high surface area and superfine particle size assists in the bioavailability of magnesia to the animal. calcined magnesium oxideis also used in the formulation of mineral feed premixes.
