Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the primary functions of Riboflavin in animal feed?
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is vital for energy metabolism, cellular respiration, and red blood cell formation in livestock and poultry. It supports skin/hoof health in ruminants and prevents deficiency symptoms like curled toe paralysis in poultry and oral lesions in swine. Its bright yellow color also aids in feed quality monitoring.
2. Can Riboflavin be mixed with other vitamins or minerals?
It is compatible with Vitamin B6, Zinc oxide, and Organic selenium. However, it is incompatible with Choline chloride (>50%) because moisture absorption causes clumping (mix separately), and Iron sulfate (FeSO₄) because it causes oxidative degradation (maintain Fe:B2 ratio <5:1).
3. What are the proper storage conditions and shelf life for Riboflavin?
Riboflavin should be stored in a cool, dry, dark, and well-ventilated environment. It is important to avoid exposure to moisture and direct light, and use the product promptly after opening to prevent degradation. Under these conditions, the shelf life is 36 months.
4. What is the recommended dosage of Riboflavin for swine, poultry, and fish?
The recommended dosage as Vitamin B2 in mg/kg feed is: 2–8 mg/kg for Swine, 2–8 mg/kg for Poultry, and 10–25 mg/kg for Fish. Dosages should be adjusted according to animal growth requirements or nutritionist recommendations.
5. Which feed ingredients are incompatible with Riboflavin and how can risks be mitigated?
Incompatible ingredients include: Alkaline compounds (causes pH degradation, mitigate by premixing with acidifiers first); High-dose copper >150 ppm (causes chelation, limit copper or use coated forms); Sulfa drugs (antagonistic effect, administer 4 hours apart); and Ethanol in liquid feeds (solubility conflict, use dry premix or post-fermentation addition).
6. What compliance standard does this Riboflavin product meet?
This Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) product complies fully with the GB/T7297-2006 China National Standard, ensuring high purity (dried basis ≥ 98.0%) and strict quality control parameters.
