Folic Acid 96% Feed Grade
CAS Number: 59-30-3
Folic Acid 96% is an essential B-vitamin involved in one-carbon metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cell division, making it critical for rapidly dividing tissues such as bone marrow and intestinal epithelium in livestock. Deficiency results in anaemia, reduced hatchability, and poor reproductive performance. Our feed-grade folic acid offers consistently high potency for inclusion in vitamin premixes and complete feeds.
