Basic Info
This feed grade iron oxide yellow premix is specially developed for livestock and poultry breeding, aquaculture and other scenarios. It is used as a feed colorant and trace element supplement, which can provide a uniform warm yellow tone for egg yolks and skins of livestock and poultry, and supplement the iron elements required by animals. It solves the problems of poor colorant effect and insufficient trace element content of ordinary feed, and is widely used in layer breeding, aquaculture, pet food and other fields.
Customer reviews
Emily Johnson · Animal Nutrition Specialist
From a technical perspective, this iron oxide premix meets all safety standards for animal feed. I appreciate that it doesn't alter the nutritional composition of the feed while providing uniform coloration. We've tested it in various feed formulations, and the results are consistently good. The particle size is ideal for proper mixing and distribution throughout the feed.
John Smith · Livestock Farm Manager
As a farm manager, I've been using Feed Grade Iron Oxide Yellow Premix for our poultry feed for the past six months. The color consistency is excellent, and it blends seamlessly with other feed ingredients. Our chickens show no adverse reactions, and the premix has helped maintain feed quality standards. The product is also cost-effective compared to other coloring agents we've tried.
Robert Brown · Feed Production Supervisor
In our feed manufacturing process, this premix has significantly improved our workflow. It dissolves completely without clumping, and we've noticed reduced equipment staining compared to other products. The color intensity is stable even after pelleting and storage. We've received positive feedback from customers about the visual appeal of the final feed product.
Michael Davis · Agricultural Consultant
After recommending this premix to several clients in the livestock industry, I've gathered uniformly positive feedback. Farmers appreciate that it doesn't affect feed palatability while providing the desired visual markers. The product's reliability has made it easier for farms to maintain brand consistency in their feed products. It's become a standard recommendation in my practice for feed coloration needs.
Sarah Wilson · Quality Control Analyst
Our lab tests confirm that this premix maintains consistent quality across batches. The iron oxide content is precisely as specified, and we've observed excellent stability under various storage conditions. It's become our go-to choice for feed coloring because it consistently passes all our safety and quality tests without issues.
Product Description
Product features:
Produced from feed-grade raw materials, complying with the GB 7300-2012 feed additive safety standards. The heavy metal content is far lower than international safety standards, with total microbial count ≤1000cfu/g and no salmonella detected, which will not harm animal health. It is in premixed state, with precise addition amount, which can be evenly dispersed in feed without local uneven coloring. It can provide a stable warm yellow tone for egg yolks of laying hens, improving the commercial value of eggs. At the same time, as an iron supplement, it can meet the iron requirements of livestock and poultry growth, improve the anemia problem of livestock and poultry, and improve breeding benefits.

Product specifications:
Iron oxide content (calculated as Fe₂O₃) ≥10.0%, average particle size D50 10-15μm, water-soluble matter content ≤0.3%, pH value 6.0-7.0, lead (Pb) ≤5mg/kg, arsenic (As) ≤2mg/kg, total microbial colony count ≤1000cfu/g, salmonella not detected. The packaging uses moisture-proof woven bags, with a net weight of 20kg per bag, and 20 bags are stacked per pallet. It should be stored in a ventilated and dry feed warehouse, and the shelf life is 18 months.
Product application:
It is suitable for layer feed, broiler feed, aquaculture feed, pet food and other scenarios. It can provide a uniform warm yellow tone for products, improve the commercial value of eggs, meat and aquatic products, and at the same time supplement the iron elements required by animals, improve the health status of livestock and poultry, and improve breeding benefits.
