B&H supplies Beta Carotene 10% Powder for animal feed, vitamin premixes, dairy cattle nutrition, ruminant feed, and breeding-animal formulations.
As a precursor of vitamin A, beta-carotene supports normal reproductive function, immune health, growth, vision, and epithelial tissue maintenance. It also provides antioxidant activity beyond its role as a source of vitamin A.
The powder form is suitable for dry premixing and can be incorporated into professionally formulated feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and other breeding animals.

Product Overview
Beta Carotene 10% Powder is a concentrated nutritional feed ingredient containing standardized beta-carotene activity. It is primarily used in feed and nutritional formulations for ruminants, dairy cattle, and breeding animals.
Beta-carotene performs two important nutritional roles. It acts as a precursor that can be converted into vitamin A and also provides antioxidant activity in its own right.
Vitamin A is essential for normal growth, reproduction, immune function, vision, and epithelial tissue health. The antioxidant properties of beta-carotene also help protect cells against oxidative stress, making it particularly relevant in nutritional programs for high-producing and breeding animals.
The 10% specification indicates the standardized beta-carotene concentration of the product.
The remaining product composition may include suitable carriers, stabilizers, antioxidants, or protective materials designed to improve handling and stability. The exact formulation depends on the selected production source and should be verified through the Technical Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis.
Compared with highly concentrated raw beta-carotene, the 10% powder form offers practical advantages for animal feed production:
Beta-carotene is commonly described as provitamin A because animals can convert it into vitamin A.
Vitamin A supports several essential physiological functions, including:
The efficiency of conversion can vary according to animal species, physiological condition, dietary composition, health status, and existing vitamin A intake.
Beta Carotene 10% Powder can be included in nutritional programs for dairy cows, beef cattle, breeding sheep, breeding goats, and other reproductive animals.
Appropriate beta-carotene nutrition helps support:
Beta-carotene should be used as part of a balanced feeding program rather than as a treatment for reproductive disorders. The final inclusion level should be determined by an animal nutrition professional.
Beta-carotene contributes to immune nutrition both through its vitamin A activity and its antioxidant properties.
An adequate supply may be particularly important during:
Balanced beta-carotene and vitamin A nutrition helps maintain normal epithelial barriers in the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Beta-carotene can help protect cells from oxidative damage by participating in the animal’s antioxidant defense system.
Oxidative stress may increase during high milk production, reproduction, heat stress, disease challenges, transportation, dietary changes, and other demanding production stages.
For this reason, Beta Carotene 10% Powder may be incorporated into antioxidant-focused formulations together with other nutrients, such as vitamin E, selenium, and selected trace minerals.
Through its provitamin A activity, beta-carotene supports normal cell differentiation, tissue development, and growth.
It can be included in professionally formulated feed for calves, replacement heifers, young breeding animals, and other livestock requiring balanced vitamin nutrition.
Dairy cattle are one of the primary application categories for Beta Carotene 10% Powder.
The product can be incorporated into dairy cattle feed, mineral-vitamin premixes, transition-cow supplements, and breeding nutrition programs.
Typical applications include feed for:
In dairy nutrition, beta-carotene is mainly used to support reproductive nutrition, immune health, antioxidant status, and normal vitamin A supply.
The required supplementation level depends on forage quality, feed storage conditions, production stage, milk yield, vitamin A intake, and the beta-carotene content naturally present in the diet.
Beta Carotene 10% Powder is suitable for nutritional formulations for:
Fresh green forage can naturally contain beta-carotene, but its concentration may decline during harvesting, drying, processing, and prolonged storage.
Supplementation may therefore be considered when animals receive diets containing stored forage, hay, silage, straw, or other ingredients with variable beta-carotene content.
The need for additional beta-carotene should be evaluated according to the complete diet and the nutritional requirements of the target animal.
Breeding animals have specific nutritional requirements related to reproductive function, immune health, embryonic development, and recovery following parturition.
Beta Carotene 10% Powder can be used in feed and supplements for:
It may be incorporated into pre-breeding, gestation, transition, and post-calving nutritional programs according to professional formulation recommendations.
Beta Carotene 10% Powder can be used in:
The standardized 10% specification helps feed manufacturers calculate the required addition accurately and maintain more consistent nutritional formulations.
The powder form is suitable for incorporation into dry vitamin premixes, mineral-vitamin premixes, compound feed, and complementary feed.
Beta-carotene provides vitamin A precursor activity while also contributing antioxidant benefits beyond vitamin A nutrition.
It can be used across dairy cattle, beef cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and breeding-animal nutrition programs.
B&H supports commercial quantities for feed mills, premix manufacturers, distributors, animal nutrition companies, and livestock integrators.
Beta-carotene is sensitive to oxygen, light, heat, moisture, and prolonged storage. Appropriate formulation, processing, packaging, and storage controls are therefore important.
Recommended handling practices include:
The final dosage should be determined by a qualified animal nutritionist based on species, age, production stage, diet composition, feed intake, natural beta-carotene content, vitamin A intake, processing conditions, and local regulations.
Beta-carotene and preformed vitamin A are related but are not identical ingredients.
| Comparison | Beta Carotene 10% Powder | Vitamin A Feed Additive |
| Nutritional Role | Precursor of vitamin A | Direct source of vitamin A activity |
| Antioxidant Activity | Provides antioxidant benefits | Primarily supplies vitamin A activity |
| Main Applications | Ruminants, dairy cattle, and breeding animals | Broad animal feed applications |
| Reproductive Nutrition | Frequently used in breeding and dairy nutrition | Supports general reproductive function |
| Conversion | Converted into vitamin A by the animal | Does not require conversion into vitamin A |
| Formulation Decision | Based on beta-carotene and vitamin A status | Based on required vitamin A activity |
Beta Carotene 10% Powder can be used alongside a properly formulated vitamin A source when both provitamin A and antioxidant nutritional functions are required.
The two ingredients should not automatically be treated as direct one-to-one replacements. Their inclusion levels must be calculated separately.
Commercial packaging depends on the selected production source, order quantity, transportation method, and customer requirements.
Beta Carotene 10% Powder should generally be:
Customers should confirm the packaging size, storage temperature, shelf life, and handling instructions before placing an order.
