What is L-Carnitine 50% Feed Grade?
L-Carnitine 50% Feed Grade (Levocarnitine) is a high-quality animal feed additive designed to improve energy metabolism, fat utilization, and overall animal performance. It is a white to off-white, free-flowing powder produced by blending L-Carnitine (approximately 50%) with a carefully selected carrier, Silica, which enhances product stability, flowability, and ease of mixing in feed formulations.
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays a critical role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy through β-oxidation. By improving fat metabolism, L-Carnitine helps animals utilize dietary energy more efficiently, supports healthy growth, reduces fat deposition, and enhances physical performance under stressful conditions.
The addition of Silica prevents caking, improves storage stability, and ensures uniform distribution during feed manufacturing, making L-Carnitine 50% Feed Grade suitable for use in premixes, compound feeds, and nutritional supplements.

Applications
- Feed efficiency & growth: Improves feed conversion and supports growth and muscle development in livestock such as pigs, poultry and cattle, helping animals reach target weights more efficiently.
- Energy & fat metabolism: Promotes the conversion of fat into usable energy, supporting body condition and performance during growth or production stages.
- Aquaculture: Enhances growth rate and feed utilization in fish, shrimp and other farmed aquatic species, improving yield and uniformity.
- Health & immunity: Helps support immune function and resilience to disease stress, contributing to overall herd/flock health.
- Reproduction: Supports reproductive performance and offspring viability in breeding animals, aiding fertility and neonatal vigor.
Packaging & storage
- Packing: 25 kg fiber drums with polyethylene liner, or 25 kg kraft bags, shipped on pallets for bulk orders.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid high humidity to prevent caking or quality loss.
- Handling & contamination: Store away from strong odors, acids/alkalis and other reactive or odorous chemicals. Use clean, dry equipment to avoid contamination.
- Shelf life & quality: Keep packaging sealed until use and follow the supplier's recommended shelf life and quality instructions (refer to TDS/COA).
