Applications

Calcium D-Pantothenate is a component of coenzyme A. It participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, maintains skin and mucous membranes, improves the color of hair (or feathers) and prevents the occurrence of diseases, especially the growth and development of poultry, livestock and fish. The synthesis and decomposition of fat are essential for the demand for Calcium D-Pantothenate .
More than 70% of is used as a vitamin additive in the feed industry and added to the feed of poultry, pigs, young ruminants, fish, etc.
