Calcium chloride
A mineral product, dosed in grams per head per day rather than fed by the kilogram. Supplies calcium at 27% and chloride at 48% of its dry matter.
Composition
Every figure is a percentage of dry matter. A mineral product carries no meaningful energy, protein or fibre, so those measures are left out rather than printed as zeroes.

Where these numbers come from
Dihydrate flake stoichiometry (CaCl₂·2H₂O), the feed-grade product.
The strongest per-gram acidifier of the anionic salts, and unpalatable — real diets cap the dose.
What it costs
There is no cost per megajoule here: a mineral product is bought for what it supplies, not for energy. These prices are indicative starting points from mid-2026, not quotes: they move with region, volume and season, and every one of them is editable in the calculator.
Work out the dose
Mineral products are dosed in grams per head per day. Open the calculator with Calcium chlorideadded to the diet, set the dose, and it will show what that does to the diet's mineral balance.
