Feed additive premixes used in livestock vary depending on the type of animal and the purpose of rearing. Particularly for poultry, premixes are divided into three main categories: Layer, Broiler, and Breeder. Here are the characteristics of premixes for each of these categories:
Layer Premix
Purpose: To increase egg production and quality in laying hens.
Vitamins: A, D3, E, K, B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin).
Minerals: Calcium (for eggshell quality), phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, iodine, selenium.
Amino Acids: Methionine, lysine.
Other Additives: Omega-3 fatty acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes (phytase, protease).
Broiler Premix
Purpose: To ensure rapid and healthy growth of broilers.
Vitamins: A, D3, E, K, B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin).
Minerals: Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, iodine, selenium.
Amino Acids: Methionine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan.
Other Additives: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes (phytase, protease), growth promoters.
Breeder Premix
Purpose: To ensure healthy reproduction and productive offspring in breeder hens.
Vitamins: A, D3, E, K, B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin), particularly vitamin E (for reproductive health).
Minerals: Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, iodine, selenium.
Amino Acids: Methionine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, arginine.
Other Additives: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes (phytase, protease), antioxidants.
These premixes are designed to meet the specific nutritional needs of each type of poultry. Layer premixes enhance egg production and quality, broiler premixes support rapid growth and meat quality, and breeder premixes focus on reproductive health and productivity.
