General per kilogram of feed required to add 0.15¼g vitamin H. Vitamin H used as feed additives are usually processed into 2% agent.

Due to the complex production process, the long route, technical difficulty of vitamin H, only a handful of companies’ biotin manufacturer around the world to master and industrial the production process of the products.
