FAQs
1. What are the primary functions of Riboflavin in animal feed?
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is vital for energy metabolism, cellular respiration, and red blood cell formation in livestock and poultry. It supports skin/hoof health in ruminants and prevents deficiency symptoms like curled toe paralysis in poultry and oral lesions in swine. Its bright yellow color also aids in feed quality monitoring.
2. Can Riboflavin be mixed with other vitamins or minerals?
Compatible: Vitamin B6, Zinc oxide, Organic selenium.
Incompatible:
Choline chloride (>50%): Moisture absorption causes clumping – mix separately.
Iron sulfate (FeSO₄): Oxidative degradation – maintain Fe:B2 ratio <5:1.
Compatibility
Compatible With:
| Category | Examples | Optimal Mixing Sequence |
| Vitamins | B1 (Thiamine), B3 (Niacin) | Add Riboflavin after B1 |
| Antioxidants | Vitamin E, BHT | Enhances oxidative stability |
| Acidifiers | Citric acid, Formic acid | Stabilizes in acidic premixes |
| Probiotics | Lactobacillus strains | No adverse interactions |
Incompatible With:
| Substance | Risk | Mitigation Strategy |
| Alkaline compounds (e.g., limestone) | pH-induced degradation | Premix with acidifiers first |
| High-dose copper (Cu >150 ppm) | Chelation reduces bioavailability | Limit copper or use coated forms |
| Sulfa drugs (e.g., sulfamethazine) | Antagonistic effect | Administer 4 hours apart from feed |
| Ethanol (liquid feed systems) | Solubility conflict | Use dry premix or post-fermentation addition |
