Calcium D-Pantothenate Feed Grade
CAS Number: 137-08-6
Calcium D-Pantothenate is the stable calcium salt of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), functioning as a precursor to coenzyme A in fatty acid synthesis, energy metabolism, and neurotransmitter production. Deficiency causes poor growth, scurfy skin, and goose-stepping gait in swine and poultry. Our feed-grade product supplies the biologically active D-form with high and consistent potency.
