For more than 20 years since the concept of feed pigment was introduced to China by large foreign companies in 1980s, the domestic feed pigment market has been dominated by foreign brands. In recent five years, many manufacturers of pigment additives have been born in China, and a variety of feed pigment additives have been developed by their own strength to meet the market demand. Kyushu red is one of the representative products that can replace similar pigments abroad. Kyushu Red is a feed red pigment additive product independently developed and synthesized by Guangzhou Lida Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which contains red carotenoid cantharidin and has been on the market for 2 years. 5% and 10% products. Since the product went on the market, the market share, product quality, use efficiency and other indicators have surpassed the brands of large foreign companies, which have been recognized by customers and lead the domestic industry.
The effective component of Kyushu Red is canthaxanthin, which is an important component for coloring the skin, shin and yolk of broilers. Birds can't synthesize canthaxanthin by themselves, but gradually get canthaxanthin from food during eating and deposit it in skin and fat. Because the content of canthaxanthin in feed raw materials is insufficient, it can not meet the requirements of consumers for "golden yellow" of poultry products. Therefore, this yellow pigment and red pigment must be added to feed to increase the intake of pigment by poultry, so as to meet the satisfaction requirements of consumers.
Features of Kyushu Red Products:
1, multiple protection of special compound antioxidant, double-layer microcapsule coating, high product stability and strong absorption.
Carotenoids are very unstable, which are easily destroyed by oxidation during feed production and storage, resulting in unstable coloring of egg yolk and broilers. Kyushu Red adopts the most advanced coating technology in the world, which makes the products round, dense and uniform. Firstly, the antioxidant-stabilized cantharidin molecules were wrapped in the molecular-level reticular macromolecules, and then a stable starch layer was wrapped on its surface to form round, dense and uniform fine particles. At the same time, the particles have good dispersibility when the water temperature reaches 35℃, which is easy for animals to use.
2. Fine and uniform particles, good fluidity and easy mixing.
Kyushu red is an efficient feed additive, which is suitable for the size and density of starch-coated particles, forms good fluidity, ensures its operability in feed mixing and makes it evenly distributed in feed.
3. All-trans configuration has high molecular proportion, good coloring effect and low loss rate.
All-trans cantharidin has high biological activity, high absorption and utilization rate and good coloring effect. Each gram of Kyushu Red contains more than 100000 spherical particles, which can easily achieve ideal mixing uniformity in the process of feed preparation. Experiments in powdery and granular materials show that the loss rate of Kyushu Red is less than 5%. In different vitamin/mineral premixes, after two months storage at room temperature, the loss rate of Kyushu Red is less than 3%.
4. High stability in premix and feed.
Radish products are very sensitive to oxidant, oxygen, high temperature and high humidity, and are easily damaged by oxidation during feed production and storage. Therefore, in the process of feed processing and storage, it is very important whether the product performance can withstand all kinds of harsh conditions without being destroyed. In the production process, Kyushu Red adopts special coating and double-film production technology, which is isolated from contact with destructive components such as oxidant, oxygen and light. , greatly improved its antioxidant capacity, improved its stability to various drastic changes in feed processing, and vacuum packaging of aluminum foil bags reduced its loss rate during storage.
