Buyer intent coverage
Folic acid (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Folic acid is bought either pure or as an 80% carrier dilution, and the dilution is common because inclusion is measured in grams per tonne. In Canada the strongest pull comes from Quebec and Ontario swine breeding programmes, where sow reproductive nutrition drives folate specification, together with the premix houses that build those packs. Declared potency and carrier identity, not the vitamin name, determine the inclusion calculation.
Primary uses
- Supplying folate in sow, breeder and poultry premixes
- Pet food and specialty diet fortification
- Milk replacer and starter feed manufacture
Applications
- Vitamin premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Swine breeding herd feed manufacture
- Poultry breeder and layer feeds
Advantages
- Available as a dilution designed for accurate mill-level dosing
- Stable in dry, sealed premix storage
- Small inclusion keeps handling and freight impact minimal
Limitations to consider
- Light- and oxidation-sensitive; potency falls in open storage
- Poor water solubility limits liquid applications
- Dilution tiers must be compared on declared folic acid, not tonnage
How to choose the right grade
- Specify pure or diluted material and the acceptable carrier
- Confirm potency and light-protective packaging
- Validate mixer performance 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
- Folic acid ≥ 96% pure
- Folic acid 80% on carrier

- An alternate dilution tier with recalculated inclusion
- Pre-blended B-vitamin packs supplying folate

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Folic acid (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
- Pure or diluted material and declared folic acid 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 folic acid in feed+
Folic acid supplies the one-carbon units used in nucleotide synthesis and cell division, so requirements are highest in rapidly growing and reproducing animals. It is used at very low inclusion and is commonly traded as a standardised dilution for that reason.
Specifying the grade+
Pure powder and carrier dilutions are both traded, and mixing a dilution at pure-powder inclusion is a serious formulation error. State the declared assay and whether a dilution is required for your dosing accuracy.
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
Do you supply diluted folic acid?+
Standardised dilutions on a carrier are traded alongside the pure powder and are quoted as separate specifications.
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.
