Hydrogenated sunflower oil for livestock and poultry is a type of processed oil derived from sunflower oil that is highly beneficial for feeding livestock and poultry. In this article, we will examine the production process, composition, uses, benefits, and reasons for its superiority over regular sunflower oil for animal feed.
Hydrogenation of sunflower oil refers to a process in which sunflower oil is converted into hydrogenated oil using hydrogen and a catalyst. This process alters the chemical structure of the oil and increases its stability.
Vegetable oils like sunflower oil are composed of unsaturated fatty acids that easily oxidize and spoil when exposed to air and heat. Hydrogenation converts these unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids, which are more resistant to oxidation.
Due to its high stability and resistance to oxidation, hydrogenated sunflower oil is used as an energy source in livestock and poultry feed. This oil can be stored for longer periods and used in livestock and poultry diets.
Hydrogenated sunflower oil is produced through the hydrogenation process of sunflower oil. In this process, hydrogen molecules are added to the oil, which changes its chemical structure. These changes increase the oil’s stability and resistance to oxidation.
Hydrogenated sunflower oil contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The levels of these fatty acids vary depending on the degree of hydrogenation of the oil. This oil also contains vitamin E and other antioxidants.
This oil is used as an energy source in livestock and poultry feed. Due to its high stability and resistance to oxidation, it can be stored for longer periods and used in livestock and poultry diets.
This oil has many advantages due to undergoing hydrogenation:
Hydrogenated sunflower oil, due to its chemical structure, has high stability against oxidation and can be stored for longer periods.
This oil is easily digested by livestock and poultry, providing them with the necessary energy.
Using hydrogenated sunflower oil in the diet of livestock and poultry can help reduce dust in their housing environment.
Using this oil can help improve the quality of meat and eggs in terms of fatty acid and vitamin E content.
this oil has higher stability than sunflower oil and is less susceptible to oxidation. This allows it to be stored for longer periods and used in livestock and poultry diets. Also, due to its chemical structure, hydrogenated sunflower oil has a higher digestibility and is better absorbed by livestock and poultry.
The amount of this oil in the diet of livestock and poultry should be determined by a nutritionist according to their nutritional needs.
As mentioned above, hydrogenated sunflower oil can also be used as a suitable energy source in livestock and poultry feed.
