Product Details
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes this water-dispersible Vitamin D₃ superior to oil-based forms?
This microencapsulated Vitamin D₃ features nano-emulsification technology, enabling:
• Uniform dispersion: Stable in liquid feed systems (pH 3–8) without sedimentation.
• Enhanced bioavailability: 40% higher absorption in poultry vs. traditional D₃.
• Heat resistance: Retains 95% potency after steam conditioning at 90°C for 5 minutes.
2. How does the microparticle technology improve stability?
• Oxidation Resistance: 80% slower degradation vs. uncoated D₃ due to antioxidant-loaded coating (BHT + ascorbyl palmitate).
• Light Stability: Withstands UV exposure for 72 hours (vs. 8 hours for standard D₃).
3. Is it compatible with acidifiers, minerals, or liquid antibiotics?
• Compatible: Citric acid (pH 3–4) enhances dispersion stability. Zinc sulfate and Choline chloride show no interaction in liquid premixes.
• Incompatible: Potassium sorbate (>0.2%) disrupts the emulsification matrix. Oxytetracycline liquid forms chelate calcium in D₃ carriers.
4. What are the storage requirements and shelf life for Vitamin D₃ Microparticles?
Store in a cool, dry, light-proof environment (recommended temperature ≤25°C). Keep packaging tightly sealed to avoid contamination or moisture absorption, and do not store with toxic or hazardous substances. The shelf life is 12 months when properly stored.
5. What are the recommended dosages of Vitamin D₃ Microparticles for livestock and poultry?
Recommended dosages based on Vitamin D₃ content include: Swine (150–500 IU/kg of feed), Chickens (400–2,000 IU/kg), Ducks/Geese (500–800 IU/kg), Cattle (275–450 IU/kg), Sheep (150–500 IU/kg), and Aquatic Species (500–2,000 IU/kg). Adjust according to growth stages or veterinary guidance.
6. How should I handle high-salinity water or sodium benzoate when using this product?
High-salinity water (>3% NaCl) risks microparticle aggregation; pre-dilute the product in freshwater before mixing. Sodium benzoate (>0.5%) causes emulsion breakdown; it is recommended to replace it with potassium sorbate (<0.2%) to avoid compatibility issues.
