1. Classification of Feed
Additives
Generally, feed additives are
classified into two big categories, nutritional feed additives and
non-nutritional feed additives.
Nutritional feed additives include minerals, vitamins and amino acids.
Non-nutritional feed additives include growth accelerators (e.g. hormone,
enzyme preparations, antibiotics, sedative, arsenic reagent), stabilizers (e.g.
antioxidant and preservatives), anthelmintics (e.g. antiparasitic and
antibiotic) and other additives (e.g. colours, flavors, emulsifiers etc).

Overview of Feed Additives Production
in China
In a typical feed formulation, the
total amount of vitamins is only about 0.2% but it can account upto 10% of the
total costs of the feed. Generally, complete feed contains about 1-5% feed premixes. The quantity of some additives in the
feed may even be as small as a few parts per million, however, their effect on
animals is very important. Therefore, feed additives are the core of the feed
industry.
Proper use of additives improves the
quality of feed and increases the yield of feed by improving the quality of
animal produced. Therefore, the technology of feed additive production directly
influences the development of the feed and animal husbandry industry.
Due to the late introduction of the
feed industry in China, which began during the mid
After 20
years development, the feed additives industry in China began to form a
systematic structure. There are
over 1,000 feed additives manufacturers in China. Now China can produce 18
categories of feed additives (over 100 kinds), including amino acids, vitamins,
minerals, and other non-nutrient additives and pharmaceutical additives. The
present production of feed additive is over 50,000Mt/year, with annual
production value of RMB5 billions.
The largest item of feed additive is dicalcium phosphate, with annual
production of 140,000-160,000Mt/year.
The production of trace element is about 30-40Mt/year. By 1999, there are 173 kinds of feed
additives allowed to be used in China.
