What Are Premix Feed Additives

Refers to a mixture of one or more additive raw materials (or monomers) and carrier (carrier) or diluent (diluent, thinner), also known as an additive premix or premix. The purpose is to facilitate the even dispersion of trace amounts of raw materials in a large amount of compound feed. Premixed feed cannot be fed directly to animals. The pre-mixed feed can be regarded as the core of compound feed because the trace active components contained in it are often the determinants of the feeding effect of compound feed.

 

There are many types of pre-mixed feeds, which are divided into broiler pre-mixes, suckling pig pre-mixes, etc. according to feed species, livestock and poultry types, growth stages, and production periods; they can also be divided according to different production and use channels. For commercial premixes, self-prepared "in-plant secondary premixes", and "customized premixes" are produced according to user requirements; however, the most commonly used classification method is still based on the composition of the additives. It is divided into two categories: high-concentration classified premix and composite premix.

1. Compound pre-mixed feed refers to any two or more types of nutritional feed additives in mineral trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids, which are formulated in a certain proportion with other feed additives, carriers, and (or) diluents The content of nutritive feed additives can meet the basic nutritional requirements of the specific physiological stage of the animal. The additional amount in compound feed, concentrate supplements, or animal drinking water is not less than 0.1% and not more than 10 %.

 

2. Microelement pre-mixed feed refers to a homogeneous mixture of two or more mineral trace elements, carrier, and (or) diluent in a certain proportion, in which the content of mineral trace elements can meet the requirements of the specific physiological stage of the animal. Element requirements, the additional amount in compound feed, concentrate supplements or animal drinking water is not less than 0.1% and not more than 10%.

 

3. Vitamin pre-mixed feed refers to a uniform mixture of two or more vitamins, carriers, and (or) diluents in a certain proportion. The vitamin content should meet the vitamin requirements of the specific physiological stage of the animal. The additional amount in feed supplements or animal drinking water is not less than 0.01% and not more than 10%.

2. The effect of vitamins on animal physiology:

Vitamin B1	Physiological functions: regulate carbohydrate metabolism, maintain normal functions of nerve tissue and heart, maintain normal intestinal motility, maintain fat absorption in the digestive tract and enzyme activity, increase animal appetite, and prevent neurological diseases	Loss of appetite, polyneuritis, fatal
Vitamin B2	Physiological function: Coenzyme for protein metabolism, related to the formation of red blood cells	Curl toe paralysis, paralysis of limbs, diarrhea, decreased egg production and hatching rate
Vitamin B6	Reorganization function: Promote growth, and increase hatching rate and egg production rate. It is a component of certain enzyme systems involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism and can prevent poultry claw paralysis.	Excitement, loss of appetite, growth retardation, neurological disorders, reduced hatching rate
Vitamin B12	Physiological function: Coenzymes of several enzyme systems, promote choline, and nucleic acid synthesis, promote red blood cell maturation, prevent pernicious anemia, and promote the growth of young animals	Reduced feed protein utilization rate, growth retardation, pernicious anemia, embryonic death
Vitamin C	Physiological function: strong reducing agent in the body, participates in the formation of procollagen, plays an important role in the composition of body tissues and bone calcification, is related to hormone synthesis, prevents the occurrence of stress disorders, and improves disease resistance	Livestock and poultry are not obvious, fish may have bleeding
Folic Acid	Physiological function: It is a component of several coenzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, maintaining the health of the skin and nerves, and promoting the function of the digestive system	Growth retardation, anemia, rough fur, reduced hatching rate, and neck paralysis of young birds

 

A. Vitamins are a group of low-molecular organic compounds with different chemical structures and different nutritional and physiological functions. Its main function is to control and regulate metabolism, participate in collective immune response, and improve immune function.
B. The lack of any kind of vitamin will cause the animals to grow retarded, reduce their production performance, weaken their disease resistance, and even die.
C. Vitamin nutrition and immune function are complex and interrelated. If one of them is lacking, many metabolic pathways will be interrupted. The syndrome often occurs when vitamins are lacking. It is not appropriate to quickly determine which one is lacking. Sufficient amounts of various vitamins can be added for a long time during normal feeding to avoid vitamin deficiencies.
