Buyer intent coverage
Vitamin D3 (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Feed grade vitamin D3 is a stabilised beadlet declared in international units per gram and is central to calcium and phosphorus metabolism, which makes it a defining vitamin for Ontario layer and broiler programmes and for Ontario–Quebec dairy mineral packs. Purchasing runs through premix and micro-ingredient blenders. Buyers frequently ask for a comparison against 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, which is a separate identity with its own declaration basis rather than a grade of this product.
Primary uses
- Supplying vitamin D3 in poultry, swine and ruminant premixes
- Supporting calcium and phosphorus metabolism and eggshell quality
- Milk replacer and mineral supplement fortification
Applications
- Premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Layer, broiler and turkey feeds
- Dairy and beef mineral supplements
Advantages
- Beadlet protection maintains potency through mixing and pelleting
- Very high potency per gram keeps inclusion low
- Consistent IU-based specification across the trade
Limitations to consider
- Sensitive to heat, moisture, oxidation and trace mineral contact
- Regulated maximum inclusion applies in finished feed
- Not directly comparable with 25-OH-D3 products on IU alone
How to choose the right grade
- Compare declared IU per gram and stability class
- Confirm the permitted maximum for the species and jurisdiction
- State pelleting conditions and premix storage time
- 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
- Cold-water-dispersible grade
Comparable materials — how Vitamin D3 (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 as a separate metabolite product
- Combined vitamin A and D3 beadlets where a single addition is preferred
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Vitamin D3 (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
- Permitted maximum inclusion for the target species
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 d3 in feed+
Vitamin D3 governs calcium and phosphorus absorption and bone mineralisation, which makes it inseparable from the phosphate and limestone decisions in the same formulation. Housed animals receive no meaningful ultraviolet synthesis, so dietary supply is the entire supply.
Specifying the grade+
Potency is declared in IU per gram and varies widely between products; a 500 and a 100 product are not interchangeable at the same inclusion. Confirm the declared potency, carrier and whether the product must withstand 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
Do you supply 25-hydroxy vitamin D3?+
It is a distinct product with different declared activity and is quoted as a separate specification.
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.
