Vitamine B3 niacine

VITAMINE B3 NIACINE

Description : Nicotinic acid: minimum 99.0% of activity.

Properties : Nicotinic acid, also referred to as niacin, niacinamide or Vitamin B3, carries out its main biological actions through its role in the enzyme system in cell respiration. It is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Nicotinic acid is an essential component in the diet of pigs, poultry and other non-ruminant animals.

Requirements : In many species there is not simple nicotinic acid deficiency, as the deficiency occurs when the intake of nicotinic acid and tryptophan is inadequate. The following are some of the factors that influence the nicotinic acid requirements in livestock:
genetic differences, ability to synthesise it from tryptophan, increased stress and suffering from subclinical diseases, intensification of production systems, early weaning, presence of fungi and antimetabolites in feedstuffs and the type of carbohydrates consumed.

Target species : Poultry, pigs and ruminants.

Administration and dose : Powdered product for administration mixed with feed, according to the doses recommended in the following table:
