Loxidan blends: Only the best effective ingredients for reliable safety and quality

The presence of rancid odours in oxidized feed can lead to reduced feed intake with corresponding lower performance. In addition, the uptake of free radicals causes an impairment of animal health. These detrimental effects of the oxidation process can be prevented through the addition of antioxidants as they protect sensitive ingredients from oxidative spoilage.

Loxidan -Lohmann’s expertise in antioxidant blends

Prevention of lipid oxidation by antioxidants

Oxidation is influenced by the characteristics of the different feedstuffs, such as origin, production process, particle size, and fatty acid profile. This determines the type of antioxidant which should be used to achieve best-possible stability. Loxidan blends have been tried and tested in numerous scientific and field studies. The best suitable products have been developed through conducting own efficacy trials: Loxidan is available in liquid and powder formulations to cover a wide range of applications.

• Powder• Liquid• Natural• Synthetic

In farm animal nutrition:

• For prevention of lipid oxidation in compound feed and raw materials• For best feed quality resulting in high performance and economic efficiency

In pet food:

• For stabilization of animal by-products• For reliable quality and long shelf life

Loxidan blends: Mix well and act fast, for trustworthy protection right from the start

Loxidan products show considerable synergistic effects as they contain antioxidants with differing modes of action that complement each other well. Through the combination of primary and secondary antioxidants, less antioxidants are needed to achieve the same or even increased efficiency compared to single products. This makes Loxidan blends much more effective and versatile in their usage. Application of Loxidan products in compound feed or raw materials prone to oxidation (long storage time, high level of fat inclusion, etc.) ensures reliable feed quality. By stabilizing fat-soluble vitamins, preventing rancid tastes, and extending shelf-life it is guaranteed that the animals receive high-quality feed for good health and maximum performance.
