Vitamin E

·         Plays a role in smooth muscle growth.

·         Plays a role in neurological functions.

·         Inhibits platelet aggregation.

·         It is necessary for fertility.

·         Exerts its laxative effect by drawing water into the intestine, thereby stimulating bowel movements.

Choline chloride

• Builds, regulates and maintains the cell membrane integrity and porosity, plus the normal maturation of bone cartilage, including the prevention of perosis (slipped tendons) in broilers and layers;
• Acts as a lipotropic agent, to aid utilization and outward transport of fat in the liver, thus preventing abnormal fat accumulation or so-called “fatty liver”;
• Is a  precursor for acetyl choline synthesis, the transmission agent for impulses along the sympathetic nervous system;
• Provides labile methyl groups, essential for numerous biological functions.

Vitamin C

·         It is also a cofactor in at least eight enzymatic reactions including several collagen synthesis reactions that cause the most severe symptoms of scurvy when they are dysfunctional.

·         It is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants.

Selenium (Sodium selenite)

• Is an essential micronutrient for birds and animals.
• Selenium deficiency in poultry is associated with decreased productive and reproductive performances, and the development of various diseases affecting major body systems, including the muscles, heart-vascular and nervous system. Addressing selenium deficiencies, however, does not only improve poultry health, there is also the potential for selenium-enriched food to benefit human health.

Why enrich with selenium?

• The average human intake of selenium is below the recommended daily allowance. Suboptimal selenium intakes can be a risk factor for adverse health conditions and diseases.
• Consumers have greater awareness of the need for increased selenium in the diet. This creates a consumer pull effect.
• Inclusion of organic selenium in poultry diets also improves performance.
