Product Definition
Why do poultry require poultry-grade oils? Due to their high caloric content, oils serve as a rich source of energy for poultry, particularly during periods of rapid growth. Furthermore, vitamins A, D, E, and K—which are vital for bone health, skin integrity, immune function, and reproduction—are fat-soluble. Consequently, the inclusion of oil in the diet facilitates the improved absorption of these vitamins.

Benefits of Including Oil in the Diet:
- Improved digestion and absorption of other dietary nutrients
- Enhanced palatability of the feed
- Reduction of dust within the feed
- Assistance in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
- Mitigation of heat stress in warm climates
- Improved immune system function
