 Available in store only per kg (or part thereof) and in 25kg bags. For pallet quantities please contact us.

Dolomite is a ground powder feed additive that has multiple uses such as an antidote for copper poisoning (one teaspoonful given orally), an essential supply of calcium and magnesium for healthy bones and teeth, and as a preventative of mastitis as well as numerous other mineral deficiency based conditions. As with any mineral or feed additive you should consult your veterinarian or local agricultural extension agent to discuss the need for increased levels of magnesium and calcium in your area. While dolomite is a very good product, too much can be as detrimental as too little.

 

A frequent question: "Is Dolomite the same as limestone that I can get from my feed store?" Answer - yes and no, more likely no. Dolomite is similar to limestone yes, but not all limestone is the same. True Dolomite in the sense that it is intended for use, largely popularized in Pat Coleby's 'Natural Goat/Horse/Cattle Care' series of books, is comprised of calcium and magnesium. The primary difference between Dolomite and Limestone is that true Dolomite contains both Calcium and Magnesium whereas Limestone is primarily Calcium Carbonate.
