Acid Oil Soya
Acid Oil Soya is a byproduct derived from the refining of soybean oil. It is a dark-colored, free fatty acid-rich liquid containing mainly oleic and linoleic acids. Acid Oil Soya is commonly used in industrial applications such as soap making, animal feed, and as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, lubricants, and other chemicals.
Amprolium Hydrochloride
Amprolium Hydrochloride is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used primarily as a coccidiostat, which means it inhibits the growth of Eimeria species (protozoan parasites) responsible for coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. It works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin B1), thereby competitively inhibiting thiamine uptake by the parasite, disrupting its metabolism, and preventing its proliferation. Amprolium HCl is widely used in veterinary medicine, especially in poultry farming, and is often included in feed or drinking water. It complies with BP 2008 and USP 32 pharmacopeial standards.
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate (also known as dipotassium phosphate, DKP) is an inorganic salt used widely as a buffering agent, emulsifier, and nutritional supplement in various industries. It is a white, crystalline, highly water-soluble powder with alkaline properties. DKP plays a vital role in food processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and agriculture due to its ability to stabilize pH, improve texture, and supply essential potassium and phosphate ions.
L-Lysine HCL Feed Grade
L-Lysine HCL Feed Grade is a highly pure form of the essential amino acid lysine combined with hydrochloric acid to improve its stability and solubility. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is widely used as a dietary supplement in animal feed to enhance growth, improve feed efficiency, and balance amino acid profiles. L-Lysine HCL is critical in poultry, swine, and aquaculture nutrition, helping to meet animals’ lysine requirements for protein synthesis and overall health.
L-Threonine Feed Grade
L-Threonine Feed Grade is a high-purity essential amino acid used primarily as a nutritional supplement in animal feed. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is vital for protein synthesis, growth, and overall health in livestock. This feed-grade form of L-Threonine helps balance amino acid profiles in animal diets, especially in monogastric animals like poultry and swine, improving feed efficiency and production performance.
Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt)
Magnesium Sulphate Epsom Salt, commonly known as Epsom Salt, is an inorganic salt composed of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen with the formula MgSO₄. It typically appears as colorless or white crystalline granules and is highly soluble in water. In its heptahydrate form (MgSO₄·7H₂O), it is widely used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications. Epsom Salt is valued for its muscle relaxant, laxative, and magnesium supplementation properties, as well as for its role in improving soil fertility and plant growth.
Nicotinamide BP
