Compatibility
Compatible With:
| Category | Examples | Best Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Fat-soluble vitamins | Vitamin E, Vitamin A | Add encapsulated C after oil-based vitamins |
| Minerals | Organic selenium, MnO | No abrasive effect on microcapsules |
| Antioxidants | BHT, Ethoxyquin | Synergistic protection during storage |

Incompatible With:
| Substance | Risk | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Kaolin clay carriers | Abrasion destroys microcapsules | Use silica-based carriers instead |
| High-shear mixers (>2,000 rpm) | Coating rupture | Limit mixing time to <5 minutes |
| Propionic acid (>2% in premix) | Premature dissolution | Use buffer agents (e.g., calcium carbonate) |
| Ethanol (liquid feed) | Solvent effect on lipids | Dry premix only |
Product Details
FAQs
1. What are the key advantages of encapsulated Vitamin C over non-encapsulated forms?
This 97% encapsulated Vitamin C uses lipid-based microencapsulation to achieve:
- Heat stability: Retains 98% activity after pelleting at 95°C for 5 minutes.
- Moisture resistance: Prevents clumping in high-humidity feed mills.
- Targeted release: pH-sensitive coating ensures gradual release in the intestinal tract.
2. How does encapsulation improve stability during processing?
- Oxidation Resistance: 70% slower oxidation vs. non-encapsulated forms.
- pH Tolerance: Stable in pH 2–9, suitable for acidic/alkaline premixes.
3. Is it compatible with high-mineral premixes or antibiotics?
Compatible:
- Choline chloride (any concentration) – no hygroscopic interaction.
- Oxytetracycline, Zinc bacitracin – no coating degradation observed.
- Bentonite (>5% inclusion) – abrasive damage to microcapsules.
- Citric acid (>3% in premix) – premature coating dissolution in acidic conditions.
4. What are the storage requirements and shelf life for this product?
It should be stored in a tightly sealed container, protected from light, moisture, and high temperatures. During transportation, handle with care and avoid exposure to rain or damp conditions. Under these conditions, the shelf life is 24 months.
5. What is the recommended dosage for livestock, poultry, and aquatic species?
The recommended dosage should be mixed uniformly into compound feed or premix. Typical reference dosage ranges are:
- Livestock & Poultry: 100–300 g per metric ton of feed.
- Aquatic Species: 200–500 g per metric ton of feed.
6. What substances and mixing methods are incompatible with this product?
To prevent coating rupture or premature dissolution, avoid the following:
- Kaolin clay carriers: Can cause abrasion that destroys microcapsules (use silica-based carriers instead).
- High-shear mixers (>2,000 rpm): Can cause coating rupture (limit mixing time to <5 minutes).
- Propionic acid (>2% in premix): Causes premature dissolution (use buffer agents like calcium carbonate).
- Ethanol (liquid feed): Has a solvent effect on lipids (dry premix only).
