Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 Feed Grade

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is an essential water-soluble vitamin that has significance in animal nutrition. It is widely recognized as a crucial nutrient for livestock and poultry, playing a fundamental role in energy metabolism, growth, and overall health.

Specifically, vitamin B2 serves as the precursor for the synthesis of two vital coenzymes: flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These coenzymes are integral to numerous biological processes, including lipid metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (energy production), and protein synthesis.

Insufficient vitamin B2 levels in animals can lead to reduced feed intake and growth, poor feed conversion efficiency, and compromised immune function. In poultry, deficiency may manifest as "curled toe paralysis" (chickens walking on their hocks), reduced egg production, increased embryo mortality, and reduced hatchability.

Research and application have shown that vitamin B2 supplementation improves feed conversion ratio, supports growth performance, and enhances overall animal health. It is effective in covering the animals' requirements when administered via feed.

Vitamin B2 Feed Grade is carefully manufactured under strict quality control, typically available as a yellow to orange free-flowing powder with standard purity specifications. It is widely used in poultry, swine, ruminant, and aquaculture operations to support growth, reproduction, and overall animal performance.
