{"product_id":"gen-pack-dcp-dicalcium-phosphate","title":"Gen Pack DCP Dicalcium Phosphate","description":"\u003cp\u003eDicalcium phosphate supplies calcium and phosphorus together, which is what separates it from plain limestone. It is the usual choice when a ration is short of phosphorus as well as calcium - typically pasture-only rations on phosphorus-deficient country, and home-mixed livestock and poultry feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 1kg and 5kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it moves both minerals at once, DCP is not interchangeable with calcium carbonate. If the problem is a grain-heavy ration that is already high in phosphorus, adding DCP makes the ratio worse, not better - use straight calcium carbonate for that. Work out which mineral is actually short before you pick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasture rations on phosphorus-deficient country\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHome-mixed poultry and pig rations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing and breeding stock\u003c\/strong\u003e where both minerals are needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gen-pack-calcium-carbonate\"\u003eGen Pack Calcium Carbonate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/farm-balance\"\u003eFarm Balance livestock minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gen-pack\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSee the full Gen Pack range\u003c\/a\u003e - single-ingredient stable and paddock supplies packed in Australia by Eastern Distributors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen Pack","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":56141248168258,"sku":"GENPACK016","price":11.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg (PICKUP ONLY)","offer_id":56141248201026,"sku":"GENPACK017","price":34.22,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6676\/0120\/files\/AGPDCP1.jpg?v=1789575273","url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/products\/gen-pack-dcp-dicalcium-phosphate","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
