Bolifor® MCP-F is a feed grade monocalcium phosphate recommended for use in concentrates, compound feed, mineral feed and other feeds for cattle, pigs, poultry and all animals also including pet food.
A unique monocalcium phosphate produced at precise conditions by reacting phosphoric acid and a calcium source in a granulator. The purity of the phosphoric acid, coming exclusively from the apatite (volcanic origin) and Yara’s integrated production process, according to GMP+ standards, ensure the consistency of Bolifor MCP properties.
Bolifor MCP appears as grey granules and it is highly soluble in water and diluted acids. Bolifor MCP is odourless and has an acidic taste.
Bolifor MCP-F is produced in two different granulations: coarse granulation - MCP-N and standard granulation - MCP-F.

Phosphorus is an essential macromineral for all animals. It is involved in many metabolic functions such as bone formation and maintenance, energy metabolism or eggshell formation.
Bolifor MCP-F contains 22.7% of total phosphorus and its digestibility has been proven to be superior among other monocalcium feed phosphates and other types of feed phosphates typically included fed to livestock. Trial reports and digestibility coefficients are available on request. Consequently, Bolifor MCP-F has a superior digestible phosphorus content which maximizes phosphorus absorption and retention by the animal at lower levels of inclusion.
The superior chemical solubility and digestibility make Bolifor MCP-F a top-ranked granular phosphorus and calcium source. It is recommended for use in concentrates, compound feed, mineral feed and other feeds for cattle, pigs, poultry and all animals also including pet food.
