Description
|
| Causmag®
XLM
is a highly reactive calcined Cryptocrystalline magnesite,
produced under closely controlled conditions and precision
milled to a superfine particle size, achieving maximum
surface area and high chemical reactivity. |
|
|
Uses
|
Causmag®
XLM is
widely used in the dairy industry for dosing of dairy cattle
in combating grass tetany (hypomagnesaemia) and to assist
in milk fat production where subclinical hypomagnesaemia exists.
Ref: Ag Fact
Sheet No 401/652. An aqueous slurry applied
daily by drench gun provides a quick, clean, positive and
economical method of application. XLM high surface area and
superfine particle size assists in the bioavailability of
magnesia to the animal. Causmag® XLM is also
used in the formulation of mineral feed premixes.
