A poultry feed premix typically contains essential micro-ingredients that enhance bird health, growth, and productivity. These include:
1. Vitamins
Vitamin A – Supports vision, immunity, and growth.
Vitamin D3 – Essential for calcium absorption and bone development.
Vitamin E – Acts as an antioxidant, supporting immune function.
Vitamin K – Aids blood clotting.
B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Biotin, Folic acid, Choline chloride) – Improve metabolism, energy production, and nervous system health.
2. Minerals
Calcium (Ca) – Strengthens bones and eggshells.
Phosphorus (P) – Essential for skeletal development and metabolism.
Magnesium (Mg) – Helps enzyme function and bone formation.
Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Chloride (Cl) – Maintain electrolyte balance.
Trace minerals (Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Iodine, Selenium, Cobalt) – Support enzyme activity, immunity, and feather development.
3. Amino Acids (if included in the premix)
Methionine & Lysine – Essential for muscle growth and egg production.
4. Enzymes & Probiotics (Optional Additives)
Phytase – Enhances phosphorus availability.
Protease & Amylase – Improve digestion.
Probiotics & Prebiotics – Enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
