A Practical Guide for Farmers, Feed Millers, and Distributors
Veterinary premix products are an essential part of modern livestock and poultry farming — but they’re often misunderstood or underused. At Medhouse Animal Health, we specialize in scientifically formulated premixes that improve animal health, feed conversion, and farm profitability.
This article explains what veterinary premixes are, how they work, and why they are a critical component of preventive animal healthcare.
What Are Veterinary Premixes?
A veterinary premix is a uniform mixture of micro-nutrients, active ingredients, or additives that is blended into animal feed to deliver consistent dosing.
They can include:
- Vitamins & minerals
- Antibiotics or anticoccidials
- Probiotics and enzymes
- Growth promoters
- Toxin binders or liver tonics
They are not standalone medicines — but pre-blended additives used to fortify feed on a daily basis.
