What is a premix? What should I pay attention to when using?

A homogeneous mixture made from different types of feed additives and carriers according to a certain formula, referred to as “premix” or “composite premix”. The feed additives here include vitamin additives, trace element additives, drugs, antioxidants, anti-fungal agents and so on. Therefore, the premix has almost all the active ingredients required by broilers, and has a comprehensive additive effect.

In the past ten years, with the gradual deepening of the understanding of the advantages of premixes by farms, the production of premixes has developed rapidly in my country. Driven by the initial few joint ventures, the production of premixes has spread all over the country. Premix production companies have sprung up

At present, the vast majority of domestic broiler production is produced in a one-stop manner,mineral premix， and the feed is supplied by the leading manufacturer and does not need to be prepared by itself. For small-scale chicken farms or individual breeding, when preparing full-price feeds in order to reduce feed costs, the advantages of premix are more obvious. It eliminates the need to purchase a wide variety of vitamins to meet the physiological needs of chickens. The trouble of trace elements, but also avoids the backlog and waste caused by the large packaging specifications purchased due to the too small amount of these raw materials, and easily achieves the goal of not only ensuring full price, but also reducing costs.

Pay attention to the following points when using premix:
① Choose a manufacturer with reliable quality.
②Choose the premix with appropriate concentration and corresponding feeding stage.
③Accurately calculate the dosage and keep it properly to avoid the lack of ingredients or the reduction of full value caused by long-term backlog.
④ Mix well when preparing feed.
