Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) Feed Grade Supplier South Africa

What is Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)?

Vitamin B6 refers to a group of six interconvertible compounds, with pyridoxine (as pyridoxine HCl) the standard feed-grade supplemental form. Its active coenzyme form, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), is involved in over 100 enzymatic reactions, predominantly in amino acid and protein metabolism, including transamination, decarboxylation, and racemisation. It is also involved in serotonin, dopamine, and haemoglobin synthesis.

Роль в питании животных

Pyridoxine is essential for normal amino acid utilisation, nervous system function, and immune competence in all livestock species. In poultry, deficiency causes dermatitis, perosis, and neurological signs including jerky movements and convulsions. In swine, inadequate vitamin B6 impairs reproductive performance and growth. Because vitamin B6 deficiency is rarely seen in natural feedstuffs, supplementation via premixes ensures consistent supply across all species and life stages.
