Carnauba Wax - Feed Ingredient
Carnauba Wax is a natural wax obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera), native to Brazil. It is known for its hardness and high melting point, and is processed through a series of natural extraction and purification steps to yield a consistent and reliable product. The resulting wax typically exhibits a natural yellowish hue and is valued for its unique physical properties.
In equine nutrition, Carnauba Wax is primarily used as a processing aid or coating agent in feed formulations. Its inclusion helps improve the physical integrity of pelleted feeds, enhancing durability, flowability, and shelf-life while preventing clumping or moisture-related issues.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Carnauba Wax as an ingredient.
