Agriculture & Forestry

Lime (typically calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide) neutralises acidic soils, raising the pH to optimal levels for plant growth. This improves nutrient availability, particularly phosphorus, and enhances soil structure, leading to healthier crops and increased yields in both agriculture and forestry.

Animal Nutrition

Limestone is a primary source of calcium in animal feed, essential for bone development and overall animal health. Calcium is crucial for strong bones, eggshell production (in poultry), and various metabolic processes.

Animal Sanitation

Lime's alkaline nature helps neutralize acidic waste products, reducing odor and controlling harmful bacteria and pathogens in animal housing and waste management systems. It acts as a disinfectant and deodorizer.
