ENDOX™

Benefits of Antioxidant System to Stabilize Feed

Feed quality can be compromised when fat turns rancid. Oxidized fat may:

• Destroy fat-soluble vitamins and xanthophylls
• Reduce fat digestibility
• Reduce palatability and feed consumption through the production of aldehydes during the oxidative process
• Increase exposure to toxic compounds, which may reduce productivity
• Reduce energy content available in the feed
• Increase exposure to free radicals, which may lead to internal oxidative stress concerns
• Negatively impact gut health, which can lead to future immunity challenges

Antioxidants stabilize fat and maintain feed quality by delaying oxidation. Antioxidants accomplish this by sacrificing themselves to quench the free radicals before the fat or vitamin molecules can be attacked. For the best efficacy and protection, an antioxidant system should be utilized and should contain a combination of the following:

• Synergistic blend of antioxidants to absorb free radicals before they destroy fatty acids
• Metal chelators to bind metal ions, which may promote free radical oxidation

The Kemin antioxidant systems approach provides the best blend of antioxidants specifically formulated for the protection of your feeds and fats.
