Animal sanitation
Animal sanitation applications
In animal sanitation, maintaining hygienic environments is essential for animal health and welfare. Natural minerals such as limestone and hydrated lime play a key role in neutralizing pathogens, controlling odors, and improving overall hygiene in livestock housing and bedding areas.
At Lhoist, we offer mineral-based sanitation solutions that are both effective and environmentally friendly. Our products are widely used in agricultural settings and are also included in select formulations for domestic pet litter - supporting cleaner, safer spaces for animals and their caretakers.
Livestock sanitation
Calcinating limestone and/or dolomite refines calcium/magnesium to produce calcium/magnesium oxide, making it an extremely natural product, available as a fine powder, in granular form or mixed with water as milk of lime/lime slurry and protects livestock health in a number of ways.
