Buyer intent coverage
Vitamin A acetate (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Feed grade vitamin A is supplied as a stabilised, cross-linked beadlet declared in international units per gram, because the free retinol form would not survive premix or pelleting. Canadian purchasing runs almost entirely through the Prairie and Ontario premix and micro-ingredient blenders who build vitamin–trace mineral packs for poultry, swine, dairy and beef mills. Overage practice, beadlet integrity and storage time between blending and feeding are the commercial variables, not the vitamin name.
Primary uses
- Supplying vitamin A in poultry, swine, dairy and beef premixes
- Vitamin–trace mineral pack manufacture
- Fortifying concentrates, milk replacers and mineral supplements
Applications
- Premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Complete feed and concentrate manufacture
- Milk replacer and specialty supplement production
Advantages
- Beadlet form protects potency through blending and pelleting
- High declared potency keeps inclusion rates very small
- Widely traded with an established IU-based comparison basis
Limitations to consider
- Potency decays with heat, humidity, trace mineral contact and time
- Beadlets can be damaged by aggressive grinding or high-shear mixing
- Different potency tiers are not interchangeable without recalculation
How to choose the right grade
- Compare on declared IU per gram and the stated stability profile
- State premix storage time and the trace mineral load in the same pack
- Confirm pelleting temperature so the right beadlet technology is offered
- 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
- 500,000 IU/g beadlet
- 1,000,000 IU/g beadlet
- Cold-water-soluble grade
Comparable materials — how Vitamin A acetate (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- Vitamin A palmitate where the specification allows the ester
- Higher overage of a lower-potency grade
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Vitamin A acetate (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
- Overage policy against declared label potency
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 vitamin a acetate in feed+
Vitamin A is required for vision, epithelial integrity and reproduction, and is supplied to feed as a stabilised beadlet because the free retinoid oxidises rapidly. The coating, not the vitamin itself, is what determines whether the declared potency survives mixing, pelleting and storage in a mineral-rich premix.
Specifying the grade+
Potency is declared in IU per gram and differs between products, so inclusion must be recalculated whenever the source changes. State your declared potency, the overage policy your premix works to and whether the product must survive pelleting.
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
Why does vitamin A need a coated beadlet?+
Uncoated retinoids oxidise quickly in the presence of trace minerals and moisture; the beadlet coating protects declared potency through processing and storage.
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.
