Ammonium Lignosulfonate - Feed Ingredient
Ammonium lignosulfonate is a byproduct derived from the sulfite pulping process, where lignin is broken down from wood. It is processed into various forms such as dry powders, granules, and concentrated aqueous solutions. Each form retains the characteristic chemical structure of lignin, featuring sulfonate groups and associated ammonium ions, which impart binding and dispersing properties useful in a range of industrial applications.
In animal nutrition, ammonium lignosulfonate is used as a pellet binder and conditioner. It is incorporated into feed formulations to improve the physical integrity of pelleted feeds, aiding in pellet durability and reducing dust during processing. This application is common in formulations for livestock, including horses, where it helps achieve consistent pellet quality without altering the nutritional profile of the feed.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Ammonium Lignosulfonate as an ingredient.
