Compatibility Guidelines
COMPATIBLE WITH
| Category | Examples | Optimal Mixing Sequence |
| Vitamins | B2 (Riboflavin), B6 | Add B1 before B2/B6 |
| Acidifiers | Citric acid, Lactic acid | Enhances stability in acidic feed |
| Probiotics | Bacillus subtilis | No antagonistic effects observed |
| Antioxidants | Vitamin E, Rosemary extract | Synergistic oxidative protection |
INCOMPATIBLE WITH
| Substance | Risk | Mitigation Strategy |
| Sulfonamides | Reduced B1 absorption | Administer 2 hours apart from medications |
| High-pH additives (e.g., limestone) | Alkaline degradation | Premix with acidifiers first |
| Ethanol (in liquid feed) | Thiamine cleavage | Use dry forms or add post-fermentation |
| Oxidizing agents (e.g., potassium permanganate) | Molecular breakdown | Physical separation in premix layers |

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the key benefits of Thiamine Nitrate in animal feed?
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Nitrate) is essential for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and appetite regulation in livestock and poultry. It effectively prevents conditions like beriberi in poultry and polioencephalomalacia in ruminants. Its high stability in neutral pH feed makes it ideal for premixes.
2. Can it be combined with choline chloride or minerals?
Yes, but with precautions:
- Compatible: Choline chloride (<60% concentration), Zinc sulfate, Selenium yeast.
- Incompatible: Sodium bicarbonate (pH conflict - separate by adding Vitamin B1 first) and Copper sulfate (>100 ppm, chelation risk - maintain ratio ≤1:15 Cu:Thiamine).
3. What are the recommended storage conditions and shelf life?
It should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight and moisture. Avoid contamination with toxic or harmful substances. The product has a shelf life of 36 months when stored properly in its original packaging (25 kg per bag).
4. What is the recommended dosage of Vitamin B1 for different animals?
The recommended dosage (in mg/kg feed) is: Swine: 1–5 mg/kg, Poultry: 1–5 mg/kg, and Fish: 5–20 mg/kg. It is advised to mix the product thoroughly with other feed additives before blending it into the final feed.
5. What substances are incompatible with Thiamine Nitrate?
Incompatibilities include: Sulfonamides (which reduce B1 absorption), High-pH additives like limestone (which cause alkaline degradation), Ethanol in liquid feed (which causes thiamine cleavage), and Oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate (which cause molecular breakdown).
6. What are the chemical specifications of this product?
It contains 98.0–101.0% Thiamine Nitrate on a dry basis. The loss on drying is ≤ 1.0%, residue on ignition is ≤ 0.1%, pH is 6.0–7.5, chlorides are ≤ 0.06%, heavy metals are ≤ 10.0 mg/kg, and total arsenic is ≤ 2.0 mg/kg. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder.
