Ensure birds are receiving optimal vitamin nutrition appropriate to their life stage and growing conditions to meet performance and sustainability goals.

Providing the right levels of vitamins

Vitamins are essential micronutrients which control metabolism by facilitating both the synthesis and degradation of nutrients for normal physiological functions such as growth, development, maintenance and reproduction
As the interactions between vitamins for metabolism are interlinked, estimating requirements for each vitamin separately is challenging
During feed processing, vitamin stability directly impacts vitamin efficacy and feed costs
Vitamin bioavailability influences how much of the vitamins fed are being used by the bird and how much is going to waste
Therefore, the needs for vitamin management in poultry production are:
- Accurately predicting vitamin requirements for poultry life stage by sub-species
- Providing high quality, bioavailable vitamins for optimal production and reproduction

Vitamin management solution

Providing optimum vitamin nutrition to birds ensures good health, productivity, food quality and nutritional value and can further improve attributes such as immunity, meat quality, bone health, and enrich poultry products. Vitamins must have high stability that can withstand feed processing technologies and must be bioavailable to ensure their utilization.

Using a monitoring system like blood biomarkers can also be a way to determine if birds are fed optimal vitamin nutrition for their environment. To ensure the sustainable use of vitamins, sustainability measurements can be done in order to minimize the wastage of vitamins into the environment.
