Dolomitic lime is a type of agricultural lime made from dolomite rock.
Limestone (calcitic lime) mainly contains calcium carbonate. Dolomite has both calcium and magnesium carbonates, making it suitable for magnesium-deficient soils or applications needing magnesium.
Yes. Dolomite provides essential calcium and magnesium for animal health, supports bone development, and can act as an anticaking agent in feed.
Dolomitic lime is better for soils low in magnesium, as it supplies both nutrients. Calcitic lime is ideal when only calcium is needed and magnesium levels are adequate.
Absolutely. Afrimat offers bulk deliveries of both metallurgical-grade dolomite and agricultural dolomitic lime, with nationwide logistics support.
