FAQs
1. What are the primary functions of Biotin in animal feed?
Biotin (Vitamin H) is essential for keratin synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis in livestock. It prevents hoof disorders in dairy cows, improves feathering in poultry, and enhances skin integrity in swine. Critical for high-performance breeds and animals under metabolic stress.
2.How stable is Biotin during feed processing?
Heat Stability: Retains 95% activity after pelleting at 85°C for 2 minutes.
pH Tolerance: Stable in pH 4–8. Degrades in strongly acidic (pH <3) or alkaline (pH >9) conditions.
3.Can Biotin be mixed with choline chloride, minerals, or antibiotics?
Compatible:
Choline chloride (<60%) – no hygroscopic interaction.
Zinc oxide, Organic selenium – synergistic for skin/hoof health.
Incompatible:
Raw soybean meal (avidin content) – binds Biotin irreversibly.
Sulfa drugs (e.g., sulfamethazine) – inhibits gut microbiota synthesis.
Compatibility
Compatible With:
| Category | Examples | Best Practice |
| Vitamins | B2 (Riboflavin), B5 (Pantothenic acid) | Add Biotin after B2 in mixing sequence |
| Minerals | Zinc methionine, Manganese glycinate | Enhances keratin synthesis |
| Antioxidants | Vitamin E, BHT | Protects Biotin from oxidative loss |
| Enzymes | Phytase, Protease | No interference observed |
Incompatible With:
| Substance | Risk | Mitigation Strategy |
| Raw egg white (avidin) | Biotin inactivation | Use heat-treated soybean meal (denatures avidin) |
| High-dose calcium (>3%) | Reduces bioavailability | Balance with phosphorus (Ca:P ratio 2:1) |
| Oxytetracycline | Gut flora disruption | Administer 6 hours apart from feed |
| Ethanol (liquid feed) | Solubility conflict | Use dry premix or post-fermentation addition |
