B-Fizz
Providing optimal levels of B-vitamins to boost energy metabolism of high performing birds during health and disease.
Most vitamins cannot be synthesized by birds and must therefore be obtained from feed or water. Moreover, water-soluble vitamins such as all B-vitamins are not stored in the body and therefore they must be consumed on a daily basis. B-Fizz is a complex of niacin (PP), thiamine (B1), riboflavine (B2), pantothenic acid (B5), pyrodoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), cobalamine (B12) and biotin (H) which all have an essential function in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to produce energy (picture Tardy et al, 2020).
Extra supplementation of B-vitamins through drinking water is required in case of:
- Inadequate intake through feed, for example during heat stress or in case of disease when birds eat less.
- Reduced digestion and absorption of vitamins in case of gut health issues.
- Stress or disease when requirements are higher (higher metabolic activity and immune responses).
- Reduced vitamin activity in feed due to mixing errors or due to storage of premix when these vitamins are present in combination with trace minerals (zinc and copper) or choline.
