Buyer intent coverage
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin, feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Vitamin B12 is always bought as a carrier dilution — commonly 1% or 0.1% — because the pure vitamin is dosed in milligrams per tonne of feed. Canadian purchasing is entirely through the Prairie and Ontario premix and micro-ingredient blending cluster, serving poultry and swine mills where diets contain little animal protein. The carrier identity and the declared percentage are the specification; the vitamin name alone tells a buyer nothing about inclusion.
Primary uses
- Supplying vitamin B12 in poultry and swine vitamin premixes
- Milk replacer and starter feed fortification
- Pet food and specialty diet manufacture
Applications
- Vitamin premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Complete feed manufacture via a premix
- Specialty and starter feed production
Advantages
- Carrier dilutions make accurate mill-level dosing practical
- Stable in dry premix under normal storage
- Very low inclusion keeps freight and packaging costs immaterial
Limitations to consider
- Dilution percentage and carrier vary, so offers must be compared on declared B12
- Light-sensitive and degraded by strong reducing agents
- Homogeneity in the premix depends on carrier quality and mixer performance
How to choose the right grade
- Specify the dilution percentage and acceptable carrier
- Confirm mixer validation at the resulting inclusion rate
- Compare offers on declared B12 content per kilogram
- 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
- Cyanocobalamin 1% on carrier
- Cyanocobalamin 0.1% on carrier

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin, 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 percentage and carrier identity
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 b12 (cyanocobalamin) in feed+
Vitamin B12 is required at extremely low inclusion, which is why it is never traded pure for feed use but as a standardised dilution on a carrier. The carrier is what makes accurate, homogeneous dosing possible at parts-per-million levels in a mixer.
Specifying the grade+
Dilutions are declared at different concentrations, so inclusion must be recalculated whenever the product changes. State the declared concentration and carrier your matrix assumes, along with your mixing and dosing method.
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 is B12 supplied as a dilution?+
The required inclusion is far too small to dose accurately in pure form, so a standardised carrier dilution is used.
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.
