Vitamin A Palmitate
Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential nutrient for animals
Vitamins are substances which are necessary for maintaining all body functions (growth, health, fertility, performance). As a rule, the animal body cannot synthesize these natural biologically active substances itself, which is why they must be supplied with the feed.
Vitamin A Palmitate is the liquid form of Lutavit® A.
BASF offers vitamin A-Palmitate 1.7 Mio IU/G and vitamin A-Palmitate 1.6 Mio IU/G. Our portfolio includes vitamin A-Propionate 2.5 Mio IU/G as well.
