General Information
The common vitamin mixes shown below as examples use sucrose or corn starch as a carrier. Customized ones could use cellulose if a non-nutritive carrier is necessary. The mixes are formulated with a diet inclusion rate in mind. Using more or less than recommended could impair the health of the animal.
For those preparing their own diets, vitamin premixes are an efficient way to add vitamins to a diet. Vitamin mixes should be stored at 4ºC or lower upon receipt. Storage at –20ºC is recommended if the mix will be used beyond 1 month. The minimum order is 500 g, for both stock and custom vitamin mixes.
