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 |
Product Details
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?
Compatible: Choline chloride (<60% concentration), Zinc sulfate, Selenium yeast.
Incompatible:
Incompatible:
- Sodium bicarbonate (pH conflict): Separate by adding Vitamin B1 first.
- Copper sulfate (>100 ppm): Chelation risk – maintain ratio ≤1:15 (Cu:Thiamine).
3. What is the recommended dosage of Vitamin B1 for livestock and aquaculture?
The recommended dosage of Vitamin B1 per kg of feed is:
- Swine: 1–5 mg/kg
- Poultry: 1–5 mg/kg
- Fish: 5–20 mg/kg
4. What are the storage requirements and shelf life of Thiamine Nitrate?
Thiamine Nitrate should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight and moisture. It must be kept away from toxic or harmful substances to prevent contamination. The product has a shelf life of 36 months when stored under these conditions.
5. What are the packaging specifications for this product?
The product is supplied in standard packaging with a net weight of 25 kg per bag, designed to protect the integrity of the white or off-white crystalline powder.
6. How does pH level affect the compatibility of Vitamin B1 in feed mixtures?
Vitamin B1 is highly stable in acidic and neutral environments (such as when mixed with citric or lactic acid). However, it undergoes alkaline degradation in the presence of high-pH additives like limestone. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to premix the Vitamin B1 with acidifiers before adding high-pH ingredients.
