Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) feed grade is a commonly used phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizer that can also be used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed. It is composed of ammonium and phosphate ions, providing both essential nutrients for animal growth and development.
DAP feed grade typically contains a high concentration of phosphorus (around 46%) and nitrogen (around 18%), making it a valuable source of these nutrients in animal nutrition. Phosphorus is vital for various physiological functions, including bone formation, energy metabolism, and reproduction. Nitrogen plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and overall growth.
When incorporated into animal feed, DAP feed grade can help meet the phosphorus and nitrogen requirements of livestock and poultry, promoting healthy growth, reproduction, and overall productivity.
It is important to consider the specific nutritional needs of the animals and work with a qualified nutritionist or veterinarian to determine the appropriate inclusion rate of DAP feed grade in the feed formulation.
