About Limestone | SpringerLink
The CaCO 3 content in limestone may go up to 99% with some content of magnesium carbonate (MgCo 3) or other impurities. Mineralogical limestone is composed of calcite (CaO = 56% + CO 2 = 44%) and in recent deposits also called aragonite. Limestone, when pure, contains 90–99% of CaCO 3 and is classified as high calcium …

2023 Technical Report
34 Calcium hydroxide is made from mined limestone, which is mostly calcium carbonate, in what is roughly a 35 two-step process (Oates, 2010). The limestone, sometimes simply referred to as mined or raw lime, is 36 heated to make calcium oxide, or quick lime. The quick lime is then hydrated with water to form slaked 37 lime, or calcium hydroxide.

Magnesium in Limestones for Laying Chickens
There was a small quantity of magnesium in the high-calcium limestone, however, and the ratio in this product was actually about 1:99 rather than 0:100. The high-magnesium limestone did not contain quite enough magnesium to provide a ratio of 27:73, so it was supplemented with a small amount of U.S.P. magnesium oxide to provide the desired ratio.

The experiment was conducted to test if the true ileal digestibility (TID) of Ca in limestone and dicalcium phosphate (DCP) are additive in mixed diets for Ross 708 broiler chickens from day 22 to 27 post-hatching. The birds were fed a standard broiler starter diet from day 1 to 22 post-hatching.

Calcitic limestone contains 36-38% calcium and can safely be fed free choice (ad lib) mixed with salt. Dolomitic limestone contains at least 5 % magnesium carbonate and should not be used for poultry, but it is as good as calcitic limestone for other animals. Portland and natural cement can be used instead of limestone.
