CaBosil – Silica Additive for Animal Feed: Anti-Caking & Flow Enhancer

1. Introduction

CaBosil (colloidal silica) is a high-purity, amorphous silica used widely in the animal feed industry as an anti-caking agent, flow enhancer, and carrier for micro-nutrients. With excellent moisture absorption and biological inertness, CaBosil improves stability, homogeneity, and processing efficiency in feed production.

2. Key Functions in Animal Feed

2.1 Anti-caking & Moisture Absorption

• Absorbs moisture in premix, minerals, and vitamin blends

• Prevents caking, keeping products free-flowing and easy to handle

2.2 Enhances Flowability

• Ensures smooth flow of powders and granules, reducing clumping and sticking

• Supports accurate dosing during automated mixing and filling

2.3 Carrier for Micro Ingredients

• Provides a large surface area to uniformly disperse enzymes, vitamins, flavors

• Protects sensitive actives from humidity and light degradation

3. Advantages of CaBosil

• Low dosage (0.5% – 2%) is highly effective

• Non-toxic and safe for animals and the environment

• Improves mechanical strength of feed pellets

• Suitable for powders, granules, premixes, and pelletized feed

4. Usage Guidelines

• Mix CaBosil into dry ingredient blends before pelletizing or packaging

• Recommended dosage: 0.5% – 2%, depending on formulation

• Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight

5. Conclusion

CaBosil is a top choice for feed manufacturers seeking to improve product quality, process efficiency, and material stability. With multifunctional benefits and high safety, CaBosil optimizes production and storage across the entire animal feed supply chain.
