Calcéan, oyster limestone powder

Q: What is Calcéan?

Calcéan is a powder made from French oyster shell limestone, a natural source of calcium and marine minerals for ruminants. According to our product data sheet, oyster shell limestone contains 97.64% calcium carbonate, as well as magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, cobalt, and selenium. Because it dissolves gradually, it keeps the minerals available over time.

Q: Can Calcéan be used in organic farming?

Our product page describes Calcéan as suitable for organic farming. It is a naturally derived product made from French oyster shells, and you simply add it to the daily feed ration. If you raise certified livestock, have your certifier approve its use before adding it to the ration.

Q: Does Calcéan replace veterinary care?

No. Calcéan is a mineral supplement that complements the ration; it is not a medication and is not intended to prevent or treat any disease. For any health concerns in your herd (lameness, digestive issues, birthing), consult your veterinarian, who can also check the mineral balance of the ration.

Q: How much Calcéan should I give my goats?

Add Calcéan to the ration based on calcium and mineral needs. As a general guideline, we recommend 0.35 to 0.7 oz (10 to 20 g) per goat per day, mixed into the ration, subject to the manufacturer's recommendations. The right amount depends on the ration and other mineral sources, so ask your veterinarian or livestock advisor for guidance.
