Product Details
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the key advantages of water-dispersible Vitamin E over oil-based forms?
This advanced formulation uses micellar encapsulation technology to achieve:
- Instant water solubility: Stable dispersion in liquid feed systems (pH 3–9) without sedimentation or phase separation.
- Enhanced bioavailability: 35% higher absorption in poultry compared to traditional oil-based Vitamin E.
- Heat resistance: Retains 90% potency after steam pelleting at 85°C for 3 minutes.
2. How does the water-dispersible technology improve stability?
- Oxidation Resistance: 60% slower degradation vs. non-encapsulated forms due to dual-layer antioxidant protection (ascorbyl palmitate + rosemary extract).
- Light Stability: Maintains potency under UV exposure for 48 hours (vs. 12 hours for standard forms).
- Shelf Life: 24 months at 25°C in sealed packaging.
3. Is it compatible with acidifiers, trace minerals, or liquid medications?
Compatible:
Incompatible:
- Organic selenium (selenomethionine): Synergistic antioxidant effect.
- Choline chloride (liquid): No interaction in premixes.
Incompatible:
- Ferrous sulfate (>500 ppm): Pro-oxidant effect in acidic solutions.
- Quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., benzalkonium chloride): Disrupts micellar structure.
4. What is the recommended dosage of Vitamin E for livestock and poultry?
The recommended dosages based on Vitamin E content are:
- Swine: 10–100 IU/kg of feed
- Cattle: 15–60 IU/kg of feed
- Sheep: 10–40 IU/kg of feed
- Chickens: 10–30 IU/kg of feed
- Ducks/Geese: 20–50 IU/kg of feed
- Aquatic Species: 30–120 IU/kg of feed
5. How should this Vitamin E feed additive be stored and transported?
It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from light and moisture, and kept away from toxic or hazardous substances. During transportation, protect the product from light, humidity, high temperatures, and physical damage, and do not transport it alongside toxic materials.
6. What substances are incompatible with this product and how can risks be mitigated?
The incompatible substances and mitigation strategies include:
- Copper sulfate (>300 ppm): Accelerates oxidation. Mitigation: Use copper proteinate or separate mixing.
- Calcium hypochlorite: Oxidizes micelles. Mitigation: Flush the system thoroughly before dosing.
- High-pH solutions (>9): Destabilizes micelles. Mitigation: Adjust pH to 6–8 before addition.
- Ethanol (>10% carrier): Solvent effect on coating. Mitigation: Use propylene glycol alternatives.
