Glycerol - Feed Ingredient

Glycerol, also known as glycerin, is a simple polyol compound characterized by its viscous, clear liquid form and three hydroxyl groups. It is commonly produced as a byproduct during biodiesel manufacturing or via the hydrolysis of fats, and it is purified to remove impurities for safe use in feed applications.

In equine nutrition, glycerol is used as an energy supplement and feed conditioner. It serves as a readily digestible source of calories and helps adjust the moisture content of feed due to its hygroscopic properties. Its inclusion is aimed at enhancing the consistency and energy density of diets.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Glycerol as an ingredient.
