Protect Your Fats, Premixes and Feed From Oxidation

Quality, variability and value of feed ingredients can have a significant influence on diet costs, animal performance and an operation’s profitability. This is especially true when it comes to oxidation in feed which can negatively influence the nutrition, health and performance of livestock and poultry. 

NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OXIDATION:

• Nutrition Effects: Decreased dietary energy, fat-soluble vitamin loss and feed rancidity
• Health Effects: Leaky gut, inflammation and oxidative stress
• Performance Effects: Poor body weight gain, reduced feed intake and lost feed efficiency

Protecting feed from oxidation starts with using high-quality lipids and feed ingredients. However, storage factors like moisture, temperature and time can deplete diet nutritional value and lead to formation of toxic free radicals which may negatively influence gut health. To minimize the adverse effects of oxidation, antioxidants should be used. Antioxidants sacrifice themselves to protect high-cost ingredients – fats, oils, vitamins and more – from oxidation, thereby offering producers a cost-effective way to maintain ingredient quality and limit oxidation risks.

KEMIN ANTIOXIDANT SOLUTIONS

Kemin-developed antioxidant systems provide an efficacious stability solution for various types of fats and oils over other single-component antioxidants. Kemin antioxidant solutions contain a synergistic blend of antioxidants to absorb free radicals, metal chelators to bind metal ions and oil-based carriers to ensure optimal homogeneity in the fat or feed matrix.

To help producers meet their unique oxidation solution needs, Kemin offers a diverse portfolio of synthetic antioxidant systems for fats, oils, premixes and complete feeds as well as natural antioxidant alternative products in both dry and liquid formulas. By partnering with Kemin, customers are provided with services to evaluate the quality of current fats and oils to help ensure their diets provide the energy and nutrients needed for optimal animal performance.
