Magnesium Oxide

Chemical name: Magnesium oxide
Purity: 99.8% min
Appearance: White powder
Odour: Odourless

Magnesium Oxide is a white, odourless inorganic compound supplied at 99.8% min purity as a white powder. In animal nutrition it is the standard carrier of supplemental magnesium, supporting bone health, muscle function and the nervous system; in food it works as an acidity regulator; in the chemical industry it feeds fertiliser, ceramic and glass production. Dosage is set by animal species and specific need rather than by a single fixed inclusion rate.

Why buyers specify this grade

Purity 99.8% min, so the magnesium contribution per kilo is predictable in a ration calculation
White odourless powder that does not taint feed palatability
One material serving feed, food acidity regulation and chemical manufacturing
Supports bone, muscle and nervous system health as a magnesium source

Quality control

Purity released at 99.8% min against the specification above
TDS and MSDS issued with the order, sample COA on request

Where it is used

Magnesium supplementation in compound feed and premix
Acidity regulator in food to maintain product quality and stability
Raw material in fertiliser production
Ceramics and glass manufacture

Who buys it

Feed mills and premix producers
Ruminant and monogastric nutritionists
Food manufacturers using acidity regulators
Fertiliser, ceramic and glass producers

Problems it solves

Low-purity magnesium sources that make the magnesium contribution per kilo a guess
Grass tetany and other magnesium shortfalls in ruminant rations
Feed taint from off-odour mineral carriers
Buying different magnesium grades for feed and for industrial use

Packing and options

Inclusion rate advised against animal species and ration
Packing format confirmed at quotation

How it compares

Magnesium sulphate dissolves faster but brings sulphate into the ration and carries far less magnesium per kilo. Magnesium oxide at 99.8% min is the concentrated dry source to use when the magnesium has to be delivered without adding another anion to the formulation.

Handling and storage

Store in a dry place, magnesium oxide picks up moisture and carbon dioxide from air
Adjust inclusion based on animal species and specific need rather than a blanket rate
Mix into the dry premix before adding to the main ration

FAQ

Magnesium Oxide questions buyers ask

What purity do you supply

99.8% min, as a white odourless powder.

What inclusion rate should we use

It is adjusted based on animal species and specific need. Send the ration detail and a recommendation is given at enquiry.

Can it be used in food

Yes, it is used in food as an acidity regulator to maintain product quality and stability.

What non-feed industries use it

Fertiliser, ceramics and glass production among other chemical products.

Is a COA available

Yes, a sample COA can be sent before ordering.

How should it be stored

In a dry place with bags kept sealed, because the powder absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.
