  • Calcium carbonate (CaC0 3 ) is a dietary source which has numerous crucial benefits for animal growth in addition to soybean and corn, which are typical nutrient sources of protein and carbohydrate, respectively. Calcium carbonate is an essential mineral for the metabolic process. It serves as a structural element in bones and also aids in the strengthening of avian egg shells.

  • the process comprises the steps of:
  • a process for preparing a calcium supplement as an animal feed additive comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a limestone comprising more than about 95% by dry weight of calcium carbonate;
  • step (b) comprises drying the limestone to obtain a moisture content of about 0.01% to about 0.05% by dry weight.

  • Bone test The right tibia leg bones are tested for the bone breaking strength with a model LR 5 material testing machine in accordance with the protocol set forth in the ASAE Standards (2005) using a loading speed of 10 mm/minute and distance between supports of 50 millimeters. The remainders of leg bones from the strength test will be used for the analyses of calcium and phosphorus contents according to the A.O.A.C (1990) method. Table 1

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de préparation de supplément de calcium pour additifs alimentaires comprenant les étapes consistant à extraire du calcaire qui a une teneur en carbonate de calcium supérieure à 95 % en poids sec ; sécher ledit calcaire par de l'air chaud convectif jusqu'à l'obtention d'une teneur en humidité comprise entre 0,01 et 0,05 % en poids sec ; broyer ledit calcaire par un impacteur à arbre vertical pour produire du carbonate de calcium broyé ; et classer la taille des particules dudit carbonate de calcium broyé au moyen de machines de criblage, d'aspiration centrifuge et/ou cyclonique. Le procédé décrit est caractérisé en ce que les particules de carbonate de calcium broyé obtenues destinées à être utilisées en tant qu'additif alimentaire pour animaux sont des particules de forme ronde avec une faible angularité ou une faible netteté, et sont par conséquent appropriées pour être utilisées en tant que source alternative de supplément de calcium dans des aliments pour animaux tels que les aliments pour poulets, les aliments pour canard, les aliments d'engraissement pour le bétail, les aliments pour les chèvres, les aliments pour les moutons, les aliments pour les poissons, les aliments pour les crevettes ou les aliments pour les animaux domestiques.
