The EMCELLE products are formulated to be added to drinking water through proportioners or mixed into bucket waterers. These products are unique in two ways. Firstly, the form of vitamin E is the same form found in egg yolk sacs. Secondly, the fat-soluble vitamins are made water soluble by a process called “micellization” which enhances absorption. Feed-grade vitamin E-acetate found in starter feeds is very poorly utilized by the newly-hatched bird due to lack of enzyme necessary to remove the acetate ester (de-esterification) prior to intestinal absorption. With EMCELLE those two critically important steps are not required prior to absorption of vitamin E. Classical signs of vitamin E deficiency in birds are encephalomalacia, exudative diathesis, and muscular dystrophy. Also lack of vigor and impaired immunocompetency can occur with vitamin E deficiencies.
