COMPOSITION OF MEDIUM-LONG FATTY ACID CHAIN FOR USE AS A FEED ADDITIVE.

摘要

COMPOSITION OF MEDIUM FATTY ACID CHAINS FOR USE AS FEED ADDITIVE The present invention relates to a composition comprising medium fatty acid chains having a chain length between 6 and 12 carbon atoms, or salts, mono-, di-, triglycerides, esters or amides thereof for use as feed additive in animals, wherein the composition comprises lauric acid (C12) and at least one other medium fatty acid chain, characterized in that the total amount of medium fatty acid chains in the composition consists of at least 95% lauric acid or wherein the composition comprises lauric acid or a salt, mono-, di- or triglyceride, ester or amide thereof, and at least one other medium-long fatty acid chain selected from the group of caproic acid (C6), caprylic acid (C8), and / or capric acid (C10), characterized in that the ratio between lauric acid (C12) and the sum of the other medium-length fatty acid chains in the composition is at least 0.1.
