By: Producing vitamins for over 70 years and always focused on supporting the feed industry for improved animal performance, Adisseo is now publishing the new updated version of its guide for vitamin recommendations, the Microvit® Nutrition Guide (MNG).
This new version of the Microvit® Nutrition Guide (MNG) presents minimum and maximum recommended levels for fat soluble vitamins A, D3, E and K3, plus the hydro soluble vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12 and vitamin C in feed. These recommendations cover 18 different species, including poultry, swine, horses, ruminants, pets, and aquatic species, represented in 35 different developmental stages. Everything is based on technical and scientific publications from the last 30 years, supplemented by Adisseo's research in this area, and the practical experience of consultants and the feed industry.
Vitamins supplementation
Even though no new vitamins have been developed in the last 50 years, the need for supplementation can change over the years due to various factors, such as the animal's growth rate, the special needs of the immune system in antibiotic-free feeding situations, or even due to heat stress – a problem that strongly affects animal protein producers. Meat quality can also be improved by specific levels of certain vitamins.
Other factors also affect the levels of vitamins to be added to the feed, such as the diversity of raw materials, and especially the heat treatments performed on the feed, which currently use higher temperatures and longer times, requiring compensatory doses of some vitamins.
The quantity of vitamins matters and makes a difference in performance, but so does the quality of these vitamins, whether in terms of physicochemical aspects related to fluidity, mixability, and encapsulation, or in their biologically active forms, in addition to quality factors related to potential contaminants that must be observed and controlled.
Adisseo, through its Microvit® line and its Microvit® Certification System, has been developing and improving its controls for 30 years to offer the most efficient solutions for feed producers, always considering the health, well-being, and sustainability of all links in the animal protein production chain.
The Adisseo technical team brings together knowledge and extensive experience in various aspects of animal nutrition in over 110 countries and is ready to discuss the details with our clients.
