High calcium ground limestone is an economical source of essential minerals for the animal feed industry. Supplementing with limestone results in stronger bones and strengthened egg shells for better overall animal health.
Limestone rock dust is generously applied to underground coal mines as a preventative safety measure. In the event of an explosion, limestone rock dust disperses and mixes with explosive coal dust, thereby preventing flame propagation. Limestone plays a crucial role in its capacity to inhibit coal dust explosions and potentially save lives.
