FAQ
What is Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO), and how is it used in the feed
industry?
Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO) is a biologically engineered
protein designed to mimic the function of natural human transferrin, a glycoprotein that
binds and transports iron throughout the body. In the feed industry, this recombinant
protein plays a vital role in promoting the growth and health of livestock, particularly
in young animals. It helps in the efficient transportation and absorption of iron, an
essential nutrient for the production of hemoglobin and overall vitality. By
incorporating Y04504 into feed formulations, producers aim to enhance immune function,
improve growth rates, and increase feed efficiency, ultimately leading to healthier,
more productive animals.
What are the key benefits of using Y04504 Recombinant
Human Transferrin (APO) in animal feed?
The primary benefits of using Y04504
Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO) in animal feed include enhanced iron absorption,
which leads to improved hemoglobin levels and better oxygen transport in the animals.
This results in healthier, more energetic livestock. Additionally, the protein helps
improve immune response, reducing the incidence of infections and diseases. Y04504 also
promotes better feed conversion ratios, meaning animals grow more efficiently with less
feed. Overall, these benefits translate to healthier animals, better growth rates, and
more efficient production, which is crucial for the profitability and sustainability of
the feed industry.
How does Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO) compare to
traditional iron supplements in animal feed?
Traditional iron supplements in animal
feed, such as ferrous sulfate or ferric citrate, provide iron in inorganic forms that
can be less efficiently absorbed by the animal's body. These supplements can sometimes
cause gastrointestinal distress and other side effects. In contrast, Y04504 Recombinant
Human Transferrin (APO) offers a more natural and biologically accessible form of iron,
mimicking the way iron is transported in the body. This leads to higher efficiency in
iron absorption, reduced side effects, and better overall health outcomes for the
animals. Additionally, while traditional supplements might meet the basic iron needs,
Y04504 provides additional benefits such as enhanced immune function and growth
rates.
Is Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO) safe for all types of
livestock?
Yes, Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin (APO) is generally considered
safe for various types of livestock, including cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. The
recombinant protein is designed to be biocompatible and mimic the natural human
transferrin function without causing adverse reactions. Extensive testing and trials
have shown that animals tolerate it well, benefitting from improved iron absorption and
overall health. However, it is always recommended to follow specific dosage instructions
and guidelines provided by veterinarians and nutritionists to ensure the best outcomes
for each specific type of livestock.
Can Y04504 Recombinant Human Transferrin
(APO) be used in organic or non-GMO feed formulations?
The use of Y04504 Recombinant
Human Transferrin (APO) in organic or non-GMO feed formulations depends on the
certification standards of the particular organic or non-GMO labeling authority.
Typically, recombinant proteins are produced using genetically modified organisms, which
might not align with all organic or non-GMO standards. Producers interested in
incorporating Y04504 into their feed formulations should consult with their
certification bodies to understand the regulations and determine compliance. While the
protein itself can offer considerable health benefits to the animals, aligning with
organic or non-GMO standards may require additional considerations or alternative
approaches based on specific certification requirements.
