Overview
Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) Feed/Food Antioxidant is a premium-quality product supplied by ZEAL BIOTECH under strict quality management with full batch traceability. Feed/food-grade BHT for preventing oxidative rancidity in animal and pet-food fats, oils and vitamin-containing premixes, extending shelf life and protecting essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. Species/application note: feed/food-grade BHT protects the energy value and palatability of high-fat broiler, layer-breeder, swine and pet-food diets and of stored fishmeal/tallow; because oxidation destroys fat-soluble vitamins A/D/E and essential fatty acids, BHT is added proactively to fresh fat rather than after rancidity appears, within authorized antioxidant maximum levels.
