Emalon® F Dry
The Comprehensive Antioxidant System for All Animal Feeds

Role of Antioxidants in feed and premixes
Fats, vitamins, pigments are essential and integral components of feed. The stability of these nutrients is based on their chemical composition. The unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and pigments carry unsaturated bonds, which are vulnerable to degenerative changes under influence of oxygen, known as oxidation or autoxidation as it is a spontaneous reaction. Thus, feed or premixes which carry these susceptible nutrients can get oxidized during production and storage. Once oxidized, the nutrients lose their original characteristics and lose their nutritive nature; their oxidative end products impart offensive color, odor and taste. Such a feed or ingredient is termed ‘rancid’. These oxidized molecules are also toxic principles and can be harmful to animal tissue and metabolism. Thus, feed or premixes which carry these susceptible nutrients can get oxidized during production and storage.

Oxidation is a sequential process of Initiation, Propagation and Termination phases with definite products of oxidation from each stage. The Phase of Initiation is triggered and catalyzed by trace minerals leading to formation of free radicals which continue breaking further unsaturated bonds and multiply their number in the Phase of Propagation. The Termination Phase is characterized by condensation of such oxidative end products into stable compounds such as aldehydes and ketones, which impart feed or premix with their characteristic color, odor and taste. Feed or premixes at any given point can have all possible combinations of these end products and depending on their predominance, the feed or raw material or premix will show change in color or odor or taste.

Research has shown over years that oxidation significantly affects nutritive value and palatability of feed and eventually the performance of livestock. Chemical substances capable of binding or neutralizing free radicals are known as antioxidants, such as Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, TBHQ, gallates, etc. However, these are effective only on the Phase of Propagation. Thus, it calls for an antioxidant system rather than an antioxidant itself which would protect fats, vitamins and pigments in all stages. The practical aspect of usage of antioxidants led the industrial research develop a Complete Antioxidant System addressing all the issues concerning the spectrum, efficacy, dispersion and economy.
