We’re working with Glowlit to bring you weekly highlights on a selection of feed additives, to give you a sneak peak into global price movements.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 

After a spike of 92% from February to March of this year, the global price of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) came back down to $25.1 per kg, said Glowlit.

"However, if we zoom out and look at the last two years of data, we see that this pales in comparison to the price at the beginning of 2018 when Pyridoxine reached above $70 per kg."
