Kemin’s Paradigmox Range — Antioxidants for All Diets and Systems

Paradigmox antioxidants are a range of liquid and dry products specifically formulated to preserve fat and oil matrices, premix, concentrated, and finished feeds. There is a Paradigmox product to suit all diet types and systems, including natural, semi-natural, synthetic, and organic production.

Our Paradigmox products are unique as they combine both polar and apolar ingredients. This means that when applied to a matrix, they protect the body of the matrix and, importantly, the surface. By protecting the matrix surface from exposure to oxygen oxidative reactions can be dramatically reduced. This ensures that the feed or fat/oil is given optimal protection. 

Paradigmox Range

The feed industry has traditionally used single antioxidants such as BHT and BHA. However, there is substantial evidence that combining certain antioxidants increases their efficacy compared to using single compounds.

That’s why at Kemin, we’ve stepped up to the challenge by ensuring our Paradigmox antioxidant range uses a blend of antioxidant compounds to optimize efficacy and ensure mitigation of oxidative reactions.

Unlike straight antioxidants, such as BHT, that are supplied in crystallized form, Kemin antioxidants are dissolved in a solvent, blended, and then sprayed onto a fine carrier. This significantly increases uniform dispersion and, therefore, efficacy.  

Kemin’s Paradigmox range comprises 3 main products:

  1. Paradigmox Green - Natural antioxidants that mitigate feed oxidation and may help to prevent in vivo oxidative stress.
  2. Paradigmox Blue - Strong antioxidants that work to stabilize vegetable oils.
  3. Paradigmox White - Synthetic antioxidants that offer substantial protection to feed oil under stress test conditions.

Paradigmox Green is an all-natural antioxidant suitable for any production system, including organic. Paradigmox Green protects valuable nutrients in the feed, such as vitamins and pigments, and protects amino acids and lipids from oxidative reactions. This maintains the optimal diet quality and supports animal health, performance, and downstream carcass quality.

  • Slows down the oxidation process;
  • Safe to use by workers, in equipment, and for the environment.

Paradigmox White vs. Vitamin E 

Many producers add additional vitamin E to the diet to help prevent feed oxidation and support the animal’s oxidative status. However, recent studies done at Kemin have demonstrated that dietary (esterified) vitamin E offered almost no protection to feed oil under stress test conditions. However, substantial protection was provided when Paradigmox White was added to the oil.
