Carotene, often added to ruminant feed, is a precursor of vitamin A and is often referred to as "carotene" or "carotenoid". These carotene include β-carotene, α-carotene, γ-carotene and the like. They are natural pigments present in a class of plants that are given their orange to red color. These carotene can be converted into vitamin A in animals, which plays an important role in the growth, immunity and reproduction of ruminants. The purpose of adding carotene in ruminant feed is to meet the vitamin A needs of these animals, because there are microorganisms in the stomach of ruminants that can synthesize vitamin A, so they usually do not need to take too much vitamin A. However, in some cases, such as insufficient feed or poor feeding conditions, the addition of appropriate amounts of carotene can ensure that animals receive sufficient vitamin A to maintain their health and performance.
