Dicalcium phosphate (DCP), also called calcium hydrogen phosphate, is a white powder that supplies both calcium and phosphorus. Its main use is as a mineral supplement in poultry, cattle and aqua feed, and it is also used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals and toothpaste.
A supplied sample of our DCP tested at 17.09% phosphorus and 22.49% calcium, with fluorine at only 0.04%, analysed by Indian Standard (IS) methods. A fresh Certificate of Analysis accompanies every lot.

Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP): frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for dicalcium phosphate?
Dicalcium phosphate from India is exported under HS code 2835 25 00. Its CAS number is 7757-93-9.
What is the phosphorus and calcium content of your DCP?
A supplied sample tested 17.09% phosphorus (as P) and 22.49% calcium (as Ca). Each lot ships with its own Certificate of Analysis.
Why does fluorine content matter in feed-grade DCP?
Excess fluorine is harmful to animals, so feed standards limit it. Our supplied sample tested at 0.04% fluorine.
Is DCP suitable for poultry and cattle feed?
Yes. DCP is one of the most common calcium and phosphorus sources in poultry, cattle, pig and aqua feed formulations.
