What's Fumaric Acid (Feed Grade)?
Fumaric acid (trans-butenedioic acid) is an organic dicarboxylic acid used in animal nutrition mainly as an acidifier to lower gut pH, improve nutrient digestibility and support growth performance. The feed-grade material is manufactured to meet specifications suitable for use in compound feeds and premixes. COA and TDS are available on request.
Key facts at a glance:
- CAS: 110-17-8
- Form: White crystalline powder
- Purity: Typically >= 99.0% (feed grade)
- Solubility: Moderately soluble in water
Commonly used as an acidifier in piglet and poultry diets to support gut health, as well as a raw material in certain feed processing applications.
Typical specifications
| Items | Specification |
|---|---|
| Assay (as fumaric acid) | >= 99.0% |
| Loss on drying | <= 0.5% |
| Chloride | <= 0.05% |
| Heavy metals (as Pb) | <= 10 ppm |
| Arsenic | <= 2 ppm |
