Calcium Salt of Palm Fatty Acids Also known as calcium palmitate, calcium salt of palm fatty acids is a chemical compound formed by the reaction of calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH)₂) with fatty acids derived from palm oil, commonly sourced from palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD).
This calcium salt is made from pure vegetable oil and contains a high concentration of C16 palmitic acid, which is saturated and highly digestible in the lower gut.
Due to its predominantly saturated nature, it has a high melting point.
The saponification of long-chain fatty acids from palm fatty acid distillate with calcium ions results in calcium salts — a type of rumen-inert fat. These calcium salts contain significant levels of fatty acids such as palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), and linoleic acid (18:2).
Calcium Salt of Palm Fatty Acids is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Rumen-protected fats for dairy cattle, composed of 100% vegetable-based fat, are used to improve milk production, enhance fertility, and minimize body weight loss in dairy cows. This high-energy fat provides the critical link between increased milk production and limited feed intake.
Developed using the most optimal palm oil sources, this fat serves as an effective energy supplement in cattle feed.
