About 70% of the chicken diet is based on grains, so must be rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. Because of the low concentration of these substances, it is difficult to add them in free form to feed. The best choice is to use a premix.
Feed premix refers to a uniform mixture of one or more additive raw materials and a carrier or diluent. It is divided into three types: compound premix, trace mineral premix and vitamin premix. Compound premix is a homogeneous mixture made by mixing various types of feed additives with carriers or diluents according to formulas and actual requirements. Such as premixes in which trace elements, vitamins and other ingredients are mixed together. During the growth and reproduction of animals, protein, sugar and fat are essential nutrients. In order to achieve the best breeding benefits, some macro and micro substances are essential, so premixes are often used.

Premixes are widely used in livestock, poultry, aquaculture, pet feed and other fields. It can meet the nutritional needs of different animals at different growth stages, promote animal growth and development, improve production efficiency, and enhance market competitiveness.
Customized formula feed premix to meet animal nutritional needs:
Feed formulations vary for different animals. Since they require different nutrients for growth, reproduction and development, the formula of the premix needs to be determined according to the needs of the animals.
What is The Difference Between Food‑Grade and Industrial‑Grade Xanthan Gum?
Food‑grade xanthan gum complies with food‑safety regulations with strict control over heavy metals and impurities for food applications. Industrial‑grade has low sanitary indexes, only for industrial use and must not be consumed.
Is Xanthan Gum Bad for You?
It is safe for most people under normal intake. Excessive consumption may cause mild gastrointestinal bloating for a small group of people.
What Can I Use to Replace Xanthan Gum?
Common alternatives include guar gum, locust bean gum, pectin and CMC. Their thickening and suspending properties vary, so formula dosage needs adjustment.
Is Xanthan Gum An Emulsifier?
It is not a real emulsifier. It acts as a thickener‑stabilizer, reducing phase separation by raising system viscosity.
Is Xanthan Gum Vegan?
Yes. It is produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrates, contains no animal‑sourced ingredients, suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
