Description:
Carnitine is an amino acid derivative, synthesized in vivo from methionine and lysine. Its main function is to facilitate lipid oxidation by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the inner mitochondria region where they undergo β-oxidation. Consequently, in case of carnitine deficiencies, most of the dietary lipids may not be used as an energy source and accumulate in the animal’s body leading to unwanted fat deposits. In addition, it aids in the removal of short- and medium-chain fatty acids that accumulate in mitochondria as a result of normal or abnormal metabolism. Depending on the dietary adaptation to carnitine and the nature of the diet fed, carnitine is degraded to some extent in ruminal fluid. Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) assist in various metabolic processes, most notably the formation of red blood cells, and stimulates protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Sorbitol acts as an osmotic laxative in order to facilitate the elimination of toxic products from the gastrointestinal tract.
