Product Overview
Calcium Gluconate is an essential calcium supplement for veterinary use, providing a readily absorbable form of calcium for livestock and poultry. It contains 9.3% elemental calcium and is well-tolerated with good bioavailability, making it ideal for both feed additive and injectable applications.
Calcium Gluconate is the calcium salt of gluconic acid. It is preferred over other calcium salts in parenteral applications due to its lower risk of tissue irritation. Essential for bone development, milk production, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Particularly critical in dairy cattle for milk fever (hypocalcemia) prevention and treatment.
