Vitamin E markets are volatile. When supply tightens and prices spike, feed formulations become harder to manage – and margins are hit fast. That’s why many producers are looking for vitamin E alternatives for animal feed that protect performance without compromising antioxidant support.
Our approach is based on natural polyphenols. Cabanin CSD is a functional feed additive with 9.5% total polyphenols, developed to help maintain oxidative balance and support stable production results – especially when vitamin E supply and pricing are unpredictable.
Vitamin E is often added well above minimum requirements to provide extra antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. When you replace the “extra” part above minimum standards, you can maintain antioxidant coverage and, in many cases, improve key production parameters.
Documented trials show that polyphenol-based solutions can substitute a significant share of vitamin E above minimum standards in complete feed, while supporting feed conversion and overall performance.
Polyphenols act as radical scavengers in the digestive tract and can help protect vitamins such as E and C from degradation. Certain metabolites are also absorbed and contribute to antioxidant defence in tissue and circulation.
Beyond antioxidant support, polyphenols are associated with additional benefits that matter in daily production:
For new users, a stepwise approach is often the most practical route:
This makes vitamin E use more predictable – and can help extend stock during periods of shortage.
Yes – polyphenols can replace part of the vitamin E added above minimum requirements in many feed formulations. As functional feed additives, polyphenols support antioxidant capacity by helping neutralise free radicals and protect nutrients in the feed, which helps maintain performance when vitamin E supply or pricing is unpredictable.
