Buyer intent coverage
Vitamin K3 (menadione nicotinamide bisulphite) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Vitamin K3 is traded as one of three bisulphite complexes — MNB, MSB or MPB — and every quotation must state which salt is offered and the menadione percentage behind it, because the forms differ in both content and premix stability. Ontario and Quebec poultry integrators drive most of the Canadian requirement through their premix suppliers, since poultry diets are the most sensitive to vitamin K supply. Comparison on the menadione basis is the only meaningful like-for-like.
Primary uses
- Supplying vitamin K activity in poultry premixes and complete feeds
- Swine and ruminant vitamin packs where K3 is specified
- Milk replacer and specialty supplement fortification
Applications
- Vitamin–trace mineral premix production
- Broiler, turkey and layer feeds
- Specialty and starter feed manufacture
Advantages
- Stable bisulphite complexes suited to premix and pelleting
- Low inclusion rate relative to the activity delivered
- Several salt forms available to match stability requirements
Limitations to consider
- MNB, MSB and MPB carry different menadione percentages and stabilities
- Sensitive to alkaline conditions and to choline chloride in the same premix
- Potency loss accelerates in long-stored trace-mineral-rich premixes
How to choose the right grade
- Specify the salt form and the declared menadione percentage
- Consider separating K3 from choline chloride in the blending sequence
- State premix storage time before feeding
- 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
- MNB feed grade
- MSB feed grade
- MPB feed grade
Comparable materials — how Vitamin K3 (menadione nicotinamide bisulphite) sits against alternatives
- An alternative bisulphite salt form where stability requires it
- Higher overage of the same form for long-storage premixes

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Vitamin K3 (menadione nicotinamide bisulphite)
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
- Salt form and declared menadione percentage
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 k3 in feed+
Vitamin K3 supplies menadione activity for blood coagulation and bone protein carboxylation. Because pure menadione is unstable, it is traded as bisulphite complex salts whose declared menadione content — not the salt weight — is the value the formulation must be built on.
Specifying the grade+
Different menadione salt complexes carry different declared menadione percentages, so inclusion must be recalculated when the source changes. State the salt form your matrix assumes and whether the premix contains choline chloride or high trace mineral levels, both of which affect stability.
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
Which menadione salt is supplied?+
Several complexes are traded with different declared menadione content; the form 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.
