Features & Benefits
- Animal Feed & Nutrition Features
- Benefits
- It offers effective and long-lasting protection for raw materials and compound feed against the process of oxidation, acting directly on the formation of free radicals
- It avoids the palatability deterioration of raw materials and compound feed, as well as the nutritional losses and the negative effects on the productive parameters
- Its formulation allows maximum dispersion of the product in the treated material
- It significantly increases the shelf life of raw materials and compound feed
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Process
The main purpose using antioxidants in feed and raw materials is to retard the oxidation process and prevent rancidity of fats and oils. These processes reduce the final quality of the feed, as well as its shelf life. To address these issues, the range of OXICAP antioxidants developed by ITPSA provides effective protection to these raw material and compound feed. OXICAP increases resistance to oxidation in these products and avoids its negative consequences on feed nutritional value and other harmful effects.

- Properties
Solid Form: Synergistic mixtures of antioxidants (Ethoxyquin, BHT, BHA, Propyl Gallate, Phosphoric Acid, Citric Acid) in a mineral carrier. Homogeneous and wide diffusion in the raw material to be treated (feedstuffs, mineral premixes and animal by-products).
Liquid Form: Combinations of active compounds with high antioxidant efficacy (Ethoxyquin, BHT and BHA) with synergistic substances (Citric and Phosphoric Acid) using a vegetable oil carrier with surfactant properties. Adequate diffusion in the material to be treated especially on fats and oils.
