Phospholipid Raw Material Manufacturer,as a feed additive

Phospholipids play an important role in improving the growth performance of animals as feed additives. The following is a detailed introduction:

·Energy provision: Phospholipids are high - energy substances, with an energy value approximately twice that of vegetable oils. After being ingested by animals, they can be broken down into fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid, nitrogen - containing bases, and other substances in the body. Fatty acids can be further oxidized through the β - oxidation pathway to release energy, providing power for the growth, movement, and body temperature maintenance of animals. Especially for young animals or those under stress, the demand for energy is high, and phospholipids can serve as an excellent energy source to meet their energy needs and promote growth and development.

·Improvement of fat digestion and absorption: Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and can emulsify fat particles in feed into tiny fat droplets, increasing the contact area between fat and lipase, thereby improving the digestibility of fat. For young animals, whose digestive systems are not yet fully developed, with insufficient bile secretion and weak fat - digesting ability, the emulsifying effect of phospholipids is particularly important. For example, adding phospholipids to the feed of piglets can significantly improve their digestion and absorption of fat, reduce the incidence of diarrhea, and improve growth performance.

·Promotion of fat - soluble vitamin absorption: Phospholipids contribute to the absorption and transportation of fat - soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K in animals. Fat - soluble vitamins need to be dissolved in fat to be absorbed by animals. Phospholipids, by emulsifying fat, enable fat - soluble vitamins to dissolve better in fat droplets, thereby promoting their absorption. When animals lack phospholipids, the absorption of fat - soluble vitamins may be affected, leading to vitamin deficiency diseases, which affect the growth and health of animals. Adding phospholipids can ensure the absorption of fat - soluble vitamins, maintain the normal physiological functions of animals, and promote growth.

·Participation in cell membrane composition: Phospholipids are important components of animal cell membranes, accounting for approximately 50% - 70% of the dry weight of cell membranes. They can maintain the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes, ensuring the normal metabolism and material exchange of cells. During the growth process of animals, cells continuously divide and proliferate, requiring a large amount of phospholipids to synthesize new cell membranes. Adding phospholipids to feed can provide animals with a rich source of phospholipids, meeting the needs of cell growth and repair, and promoting animal growth. For example, adding phospholipids to fish feed can improve the fluidity and stability of fish cell membranes, enhance the growth performance and stress resistance of fish.

·Enhancement of immunity: Phospholipids participate in the immune - regulation process in animals and play an important role in the development and function of the animal immune system. They can affect the structure and function of the cell membranes of immune cells, regulate the signal transduction of immune cells, and promote the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, thereby enhancing the immunity of animals. The enhancement of immunity helps animals resist diseases, reduces the impact of diseases on growth performance, and ensures the healthy growth of animals. For example, adding phospholipids to broiler feed can increase the antibody level and immune - cell activity of broilers, enhance their resistance to pathogens, and improve growth performance.
