Poultry Feed Additive

[Azar Vanness]

Antioxidants are added in poultry feeds to protect the feeds from oxidation and deterioration during storage. poultry feed additive The usage of antioxidants as animal feed supplements has increased in the recent past. Nutriox has proven to be one of the most effective antioxidants for animal feeds. poultry feed additive

Requirement Of Feed Antioxidant

Poultry feed risks spoilage due to oxidation. The process of oxidation destroys the nutrient content of the feed, mainly the fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Oxidation in feeds results in the rancidification of http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=poultry feed additive carotenoids, fats, amino acids, and Vitamins A, D, E & K. Oxidation creates an odor and makes the feed unpalatable for poultry. The oxidation of feeds reduces its nutritive value and if spoiled feed is consumed, it can create massive nutrient deficiency. The presence of certain trace minerals in poultry feeds may also catalyse the oxidation process. It requires feed protection specifically to ensure that the nutrients are not destroyed and thus comes the need to use feed antioxidants like Nutriox. poultry feed additive

Process Of Feed Oxidation

Feed antioxidants play an important role in protecting nutrients. Nutriox, which is the

feed antioxidant manufactured by Avitech Nutrition, contains Ethoxyquin, Propyl Gallate, and Citric Acid. Citric acid prevents oxidation catalysis through metal chelation and thus stops the first phase of oxidation. Ethoxyquin takes control in the next phase poultry feed additive by stabilizing the free radicals. Propyl Gallate assures longer antioxidant activity by regenerating Ethoxyquin. poultry feed additive

Nutriox

Nutriox is a feed antioxidant that offers three-way protection from the oxidation losses in feed, within the fats, and of the vitamins. Along with a proven synergy and

higher stability, Nutriox offers adequate nutrient protection, which enables feeds to retain their nutritive value. One of the most important benefits of Nutriox (animal supplement) is the metal ion chelating activity helps in preventing oxidation catalysis. The fine particle size and the free flow of Nutriox ensures uniform distribution. Nutriox is excellent in nutrient protection and increasing performance. poultry feed additive
