 Dry calcium chloride is used in various animal feed mixes. In dairy cow feeding, calcium chloride is being used increasingly. Giving calcium chloride to transition cows aids in reducing the incidence of milk fever and other subclinical hypocalcemia disorders. The calcium chloride acts as a cation-anion balance, allowing the proper absorption of calcium.
