Buyer intent coverage
Biotin (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Biotin is traded pure or, far more often, as a 2% carrier dilution, because inclusion is measured in milligrams per animal per day. Its clearest Canadian demand is the Ontario–Quebec dairy sector, where hoof health and claw integrity programmes specify biotin in mineral supplements and TMR packs, followed by swine breeding herds and equine and companion animal supplements. Comparison is always on declared biotin content, never on product percentage alone.
Primary uses
- Hoof and claw health programmes in dairy mineral supplements
- Sow and breeder herd supplementation
- Poultry, equine and companion animal fortification
Applications
- Dairy mineral supplement and TMR pack manufacture
- Vitamin premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Equine and companion animal supplement production
Advantages
- Carrier dilutions make very small doses practical at the mill
- Stable in dry premix under controlled storage
- Well-established dairy application with clear specification practice
Limitations to consider
- Very low inclusion demands validated micro-dosing
- Potency claims depend on the declared dilution, which varies by supplier
- Sensitive to oxidising conditions in wet or reactive blends
How to choose the right grade
- State the target milligrams per animal per day before comparing offers
- Specify the dilution tier and acceptable carrier
- Confirm mixer accuracy at the resulting inclusion rate
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent specification they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on declared content, physical form and documentation rather than on the material name alone.
Typical grades
- D-biotin 2% on carrier
- D-biotin ≥ 98% pure
- 1% dilution
Comparable materials — how Biotin (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- An alternate dilution tier with recalculated inclusion
- Pre-blended hoof health packs supplying biotin with zinc and other nutrients

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Biotin (feed grade)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Declared potency or assay and the analytical method behind it
- Product form — beadlet, spray-dried, crystalline or carrier dilution
- Stability data for the pelleting or extrusion conditions used
- Particle size, flow and carrier identity for premix homogeneity
- Dilution tier and declared biotin content
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag or fibre drum — the usual micro-ingredient format
- Foil-lined or moisture-barrier packaging for hygroscopic and oxidation-sensitive actives
- Carton or pail for very low-inclusion actives handled by hand
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store cool, dry and sealed; potency loss accelerates with heat and humidity
- Keep original moisture-barrier packaging closed until the blend is made
- Use first-in, first-out rotation and respect the declared retest or shelf-life date
- Protect from light and oxygen; keep moisture-barrier packaging intact until use
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) stating the declared activity or potency and the assay method
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) with the batch activity or potency result
- Stability and overage guidance for the intended pelleting or blending process
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of biotin in feed+
Biotin is a coenzyme in carboxylation reactions and is best known in practice for its effect on hoof and claw horn integrity in dairy cattle and horses. Because the effective inclusion is measured in milligrams per animal per day, it is traded as a standardised dilution.
Specifying the grade+
Dilutions are declared at different percentages, so the same weight of two products delivers very different biotin. Confirm the declared concentration and carrier and whether the target is a baseline vitamin level or a hoof health programme.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, declared content, physical form and any carrier or coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
What concentration of biotin is supplied?+
Several standardised dilutions are traded; the declared concentration is confirmed on the supplier technical data sheet with the quotation.
Is this quoted as feed grade material?+
Yes. Feed grade is quoted as a separate specification from food or technical grade, with its own documentation for the exact material offered.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver to feed mills across Canada?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
