Xian City - As the worldwide animal nutrition business grows away from in-feed antibiotic usage, the use of naturally produced botanical feed additives has become key to sustaining the production of livestock.New Things Biotech, a professional botanical extract supplier with over 10 years of experience, now announces the commencement of its premium feed grade tannic acid powder. This is a natural, multifunctional feed additive to improve the health and performance of animals.
Tannin Acid Powder

What is Feed Grade Tannin Acid Powder?

The Tannin Acid Powder, which can also be referred to as "tannic acid" or "gallotannic acid," is a type of natural organic compound extracted from plants (e.g., gall nuts, tara pods, sumac, chestnut wood). The chemical formula for tannic acid is typically expressed as C76H52O46. However, the chemical formula may vary slightly depending on the botanical and extraction method of generating the tannic/acids.
Physical characteristics:
  • Appearance: Light yellow to light brown fine powder
  • Odor: Odorless or with a mild characteristic scent
  • Taste: Strongly astringent
The Tannin Acid Powder Food Grade is applicable in beverage or food clarifying and for humans as a preservative etc. The other grade, i.e., Tannin Acid Powder Feed Grade, has been processed to meet animal digestive compatibility, low-cost offering, and consistent bioactivity, in all feed matrices.

Manufacturing Process

The production of our feed-grade tannin acid powder uses an approved, validated, and controlled manufacturing process as follows:
  1. Raw material selection
  2. Extraction
  3. Purification
  4. Concentration
  5. Drying
  6. Screening and Quality Control
The end result is characterized by its high solubility and low content of heavy metals while maintaining a consistent percent tannin content of 70% or higher (or as per your request).

Key Benefits in Animal Feed

Extensive research and field trials have demonstrated that supplementing animal diets with Feed Grade Tannin Acid Powder provides multiple advantages:

1. Natural Antimicrobial and Antiparasitic Activity

Tannic acid aids in preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella species, Clostridium perfringens), as well as fungi and some species of intestinal parasites. Tannic acid significantly decreases the number of pathogens in both the feed and the gut, thus reducing the number of the enteric diseases that are caused by the pathogens without the need of using prophylactic antibiotics (Redondo et al. 2014).

2. Reduction of Antibiotic Use

Tannic acid powder reduces microbial contamination and maintains the integrity of the gut wall. As such it reduces the feed requirement of antibiotic or antibacterial agents and meets consumer demand for drug free meat, eggs or milk products. This conforms to the world plan in battling against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

3. Improved Feed Palatability and Intake

Many feed products often contain an ingredient which is very bitter or one which is harsh. Soybean meal and mineral premixes as well as recycled by products are all very common examples of having bitter or harsh flavoring and will usually decrease the animals desire to eat freely. Tannin acid will tend to cover or mask undesirable tastes at the appropriate feeding levels (generally 0.5 to 2.0 kg per ton of feed). In turn, it will stimulate salivary secretion, allowing animals to eat more feed. In turn, this can lead to higher nutrient intakes.

4. Enhanced Growth Performance and Immunity

According to research, tannic acid found in food products can help improve intestinal morphology, decrease diarrhea after weaning in piglets, while it may also increase weight gain as well as feed conversion ratio in poultry and ruminants (Hassan et al., 2018). Its mild astringency regulates the microbiota of gut favourably to provide support to the animal's body's natural defence mechanisms.
Application for Tannin Acid Powder

Application Guidelines

Feed Grade Tannin Acid Powder can be used as a feed ingredient for pigs, poultry, ruminants and aquafeed, and we have provided recommended inclusion levels for each of these species as a guideline (final dosage should be determined based on the total composition of the diet, and the age and health status of the individual animal).
New Things Biotech will provide technical support to our customers to help them select the most appropriate inclusion rate for their specific production conditions.
