A Closer Look: Magnesium
Sulfate Research Results

Adding magnesium sulfate instead of magnesium oxide at the beginning of piglet rearing reduces stress and ensures a higher body weight. Despite the higher product price, the improved feed efficiency results in a higher income over feed cost (IOFC).

Recent research findings show that magnesium in the form of sulfate is more bioavailable to broilers than in the form of oxide. Supplementation with MgSO₄ improves meat quality by reducing water loss, enhancing meat color and tenderness, and mitigating the negative effects of heat on breast meat yield.
