Frequently Asked Questions
1What are the primary functions of Biotin in animal feed?
Biotin (Vitamin H) is essential for keratin synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis in livestock. It prevents hoof disorders in dairy cows, improves feathering in poultry, and enhances skin integrity in swine. Critical for high-performance breeds and animals under metabolic stress.
2How stable is Biotin during feed processing?
Biotin has excellent heat stability, retaining 95% activity after pelleting at 85°C for 2 minutes. It is stable in pH ranges of 4–8, but will degrade in strongly acidic (pH <3) or alkaline (pH >9) conditions.
3Can Biotin be mixed with choline chloride, minerals, or antibiotics?
It is compatible with choline chloride (<60%) without hygroscopic interaction, and works synergistically with zinc oxide and organic selenium. However, it is incompatible with raw soybean meal (due to avidin content) and sulfa drugs which inhibit gut microbiota synthesis.
4What are the storage and transportation guidelines for Vitamin H?
It must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, free from contaminants. During transportation, protect the product from moisture, high temperatures, and physical damage, and avoid co-transportation with toxic materials.
5What is the recommended dosage of Biotin for swine and poultry?
The recommended dosage based on d-Biotin content is 0.2–0.5 mg/kg of feed for swine. For poultry, it is 0.15–0.25 mg/kg for laying hens and 0.2–0.3 mg/kg for broilers. Always adjust according to growth stages or veterinary guidance.
6How can the risk of Biotin inactivation by raw egg white (avidin) be mitigated?
To prevent Biotin inactivation caused by avidin in raw egg white, use heat-treated soybean meal in the feed formulation, which denatures the avidin and protects the bioavailability of Biotin.
