Lime for Agriculture & Animal Feed

Agricultural Lime

CalCarb® Ag Stone calcium carbonate (limestone) is used to adjust the pH of soil to provide improved growing conditions, thus improving crop yields. Feed Grade Limestone (F1) is used as a calcium additive for animal mineral feeds and as poultry grit. 

Corn Stover

Alkaline treatment of agricultural residue (i.e. corn stover, wheat straw) with lime enhances digestibility and nutritional value allowing for the replacement of a substantial portion of grain in cattle diets. Using lime-treated corn stover also eliminates the need for additional calcium supplements in a ruminant’s diet. Lime treatment results in significantly lower feed costs and improved profitability for cattle producers as well as a residue management opportunity and additional revenue stream for grain farmers.  

Lime for the Coal Industry

Pulverized limestone is applied to ceilings, walls and floors of mines as a slurry or dry powder in order to improve mine safety by deactivating the combustibility of coal dust. CalCarb® C2 Coal Mine Rockdust is the product of choice.
