Industry Overview
Calcium is an essential mineral in poultry nutrition, serving as a major component of bone structure and the eggshell while also contributing to acid-base balance and enzymatic functions. An egg contains approximately 2.2g of calcium, primarily in the eggshell. Calcium supplementation is therefore important in animal feeds, particularly because grains and their by-products generally contain low levels of calcium. In laying birds, insufficient dietary calcium can impair performance and egg quality, while excessive calcium may reduce feed intake, cause soft faeces, and increase chalky deposits in eggshells.
Limestone (calcite), chemically represented as CaCO3, is a natural, non-corrosive and non-hazardous mineral widely used as a calcium source. Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) has applications across animal feeds, adhesives and sealants, glass and ceramics, cement, plastics and rubber, paints and coatings, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. For poultry feed, calcite marble granules contribute 3-5% of the feed and are produced by processing limestone. Granulation converts calcite powder into larger particles using water as a binding agent. The resulting Calcite Marble Granules are available in sizes ranging from 8 meshes up to 4 mm.
The report proposes a Green Field Project for a Marble Granules (Poultry Feed) production facility with an installed capacity of 84000 Tons / Year. The report also notes that the global poultry feed market was expected to account for $157,715. million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2019 to 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions
Calcite Marble Granules are used primarily as a calcium supplement in poultry feed. Calcium is essential for bone development, metabolic functions, and eggshell formation in laying birds. The report identifies calcite marble granules as a source of calcium contributing 3-5% of poultry feed. Granulated material is available in different particle sizes, which can influence calcium availability and retention in the digestive system during eggshell formation.
Calcium is essential for strong bones and proper eggshell formation in poultry. It also participates in acid-base balance and enzymatic functions. Laying birds have particularly high calcium requirements because a substantial amount is deposited into each eggshell. The report notes that diets below nutritional requirements can impair bird performance and egg quality, while excessive calcium may adversely affect feed intake, faeces consistency, and eggshell deposits.
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is a processed form of naturally occurring calcium carbonate mineral. The report identifies limestone or calcite, with the chemical formula CaCO3, as a major source material. GCC is used in animal feeds and numerous other industries, including adhesives and sealants, glass and ceramics, cement, plastics and rubber, paints and coatings, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. It can be supplied in forms such as powder, granules, and slurry.
Calcite Marble Granules are produced by processing limestone and granulating the resulting calcite powder. Granulation involves making the powder adhere to form larger particles, with water used as the binding agent. The report states that the finished granules are available in various sizes ranging from 8 meshes up to 4 mm. The process is intended to provide a suitable calcium source for poultry feed applications while allowing the material to be supplied in controlled particle forms.
The proposed facility has an installed capacity of 84000 Tons / Year, while the cost estimation section specifies a plant capacity of 280 Tons/Day. The project is described as a Green Field Project for manufacturing Marble Granules for poultry feed. The report also covers raw materials, process steps, utilities, plant and machinery, environmental management, safety, implementation scheduling, and project financials as part of the feasibility assessment.
Calcite Marble Granules are described in the report as being available in sizes ranging from 8 meshes up to 4 mm. Particle size is relevant to poultry calcium supplementation because larger calcium particles can have a longer retention time in the gizzard. According to the report, this can make calcium more available during the period of eggshell formation. The appropriate specification for a feed application should be selected according to nutritional and feed-manufacturing requirements.
Establishing a calcium carbonate granules plant requires consideration of raw material quality, granulation and processing equipment, utilities, product specifications, environmental controls, occupational safety, and project economics. The report addresses these areas through sections covering raw materials, process steps, utility requirements, plant and machinery, waste management, environmental impacts and mitigation measures, safety management, implementation scheduling, and financial analysis. Consistent product quality and appropriate particle-size control are particularly important for feed-grade applications.
