Abstract
A bioavailable water soluble animal feed mineral composition which provides buffering of animal digestive fluids to near-neutral pH comprising an alkali metal magnesium phosphate hydrate providing a total of between 1.5 and 4.7 equivalent weights of alkali metal and magnesium per molecule of phosphorus. Water of hydration amounting to between 6 and 12 percent is required for effectiveness. An effective composition, Na Mg(PO4) 0.8 H O, is prepared by stepwise reaction of sodium carbonate and magnesium oxide with orthophosphoric acid in a rotating pan equipped for high intensity mixing.
