Product Details
FAQs
1. What are the key functions of Vitamin B6 in animal feed?
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) is critical for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and immune function in livestock. It prevents neurological disorders in poultry (e.g., convulsions), supports red blood cell formation in swine, and enhances stress resistance in aquaculture species.
2. How stable is Pyridoxine Hydrochloride during feed processing?
Heat Stability: Retains 92% activity after pelleting at 80°C for 2 minutes.
pH Sensitivity: Stable in pH 3–6. Degrades rapidly in alkaline conditions (pH >7.5) – stabilize with citric acid (0.5–1%).
pH Sensitivity: Stable in pH 3–6. Degrades rapidly in alkaline conditions (pH >7.5) – stabilize with citric acid (0.5–1%).
3. Can it be mixed with choline chloride or trace minerals?
Compatible: Choline chloride (<60% concentration), Zinc oxide, Manganese sulfate.
Incompatible: Copper sulfate (>150 ppm) due to chelation reducing bioavailability (use coated copper sources), and Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in alkaline premixes due to competitive absorption (separate mixing phases).
Incompatible: Copper sulfate (>150 ppm) due to chelation reducing bioavailability (use coated copper sources), and Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in alkaline premixes due to competitive absorption (separate mixing phases).
4. What are the recommended storage conditions and shelf life for Vitamin B6?
It must be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight, rain, and moisture. Ensure it is kept away from contamination with toxic or hazardous substances. The shelf life is 24 months when stored under these conditions.
5. What is the recommended dosage of Vitamin B6 for different animal species?
The recommended dosage (as Vitamin B6, in mg/kg feed) is: Swine: 1–3 mg/kg; Poultry: 3–5 mg/kg; Fish: 3–50 mg/kg. It should be added directly to the feed and mixed thoroughly, or applied according to production requirements.
6. How can compatibility risks be mitigated when mixing Vitamin B6?
Avoid mixing directly with alkaline additives (mitigate by pre-mixing with acidifiers to target pH 5–6), iron sulfate >300 ppm (use organic iron like Fe glycinate), isoniazid (administer 4 hours apart from feed), and ethanol in liquid feeds (use dry premix or post-fermentation addition).
