FAQ — Frequently asked questions

Min­er­als play impor­tant roles in the ani­mal body. They are cru­cial for metab­o­lism, bone and den­tal health, nerve and mus­cle func­tion, reg­u­la­tion of blood pres­sure, heart func­tion, and the immune sys­tem. The most impor­tant min­er­als include cal­ci­um, phos­pho­rus, potas­si­um, sodi­um, mag­ne­sium, iron, zinc, and selenium.

Min­er­al ingre­di­ents can be used in a wide vari­ety of ani­mal feeds, includ­ing food for pets such as dogs, cats, small ani­mals, as well as fish or rep­tiles. These min­er­als are found in both dry and wet food, BARF (Bio­log­i­cal­ly Appro­pri­ate Raw Food), and in sup­ple­men­tary feeds.

Com­mon­ly used min­er­al raw mate­ri­als in ani­mal feed include: cal­ci­um for bone and den­tal health, phos­pho­rus for sup­port­ing ener­gy metab­o­lism, mag­ne­sium as an essen­tial com­po­nent for mus­cle and nerve func­tion, iron for oxy­gen trans­port in the blood, zinc for sup­port­ing the immune sys­tem and skin health (wound heal­ing), and sele­ni­um as an antioxidant.

MAGNESIA is GDP‑, ISO‑, and IFS-cer­ti­fied. The qual­i­ty of all process­es is ensured by our qual­i­ty man­age­ment sys­tem accord­ing to ISO 9001. We are reg­u­lar­ly audit­ed by reg­u­la­to­ry author­i­ties for the dis­tri­b­u­tion of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal active ingre­di­ents for human use (GDP). In addi­tion, we are reg­is­tered as a whole­saler for pet and live­stock feed with the Low­er Sax­ony State Office for Con­sumer Pro­tec­tion and Food Safe­ty: LAVES-038274.

The min­er­al require­ment varies depend­ing on the species, age, health sta­tus, and repro­duc­tive phase of the ani­mal. Macro-ele­ments such as cal­ci­um, phos­pho­rus, and mag­ne­sium are need­ed in larg­er quan­ti­ties, while trace ele­ments like iron, zinc, and sele­ni­um are required in small­er amounts. A bal­anced sup­ply of min­er­als is cru­cial for the health, fer­til­i­ty, and per­for­mance of animals.

BARF stands for “Bio­log­i­cal­ly Appro­pri­ate Raw Food.”

  • When feed­ing meat with­out bones, a cal­ci­um deficit can occur in the animal.
  • For exam­ple, an adult 12 kg dog has a dai­ly require­ment of 1200 mg of calcium.
  • 100g of our prod­uct Pet­Go pro­vides 19g of cal­ci­um and 9g of phosphorus.
  • Pet­Go is a “ready to use” sin­gle feed (fish bone meal) and can be mixed with food to avoid defi­cien­cies in the BARF sector.
