The stability of vitamin C and other vitamins in the diets of breeding hens

The stability of vitamin C in mash and pelleted mixed feed was studied during a 12-week period of guaranteed storage time. This research involved three feed types: feed without the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) and mixed feed supplemented with 200mg/kg AA in the form of crystalline or protected AA...

Description
Summary:The stability of vitamin C in mash and pelleted mixed feed was studied during a 12-week period of guaranteed storage time. This research involved three feed types: feed without the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) and mixed feed supplemented with 200mg/kg AA in the form of crystalline or protected AA (Monophosphate, Lutavit® C Monophosphate 35). The other vitamins were part of a vitamin–mineral premix. Vitamin C concentrations were analysed using 14-day intervals, with other vitamins being evaluated at the beginning and after 4 and 12weeks of storage. The interaction between the source of vitamin C and the pelleting (P
