Premix and feed manufacturers need a way of accurately assessing the properties and quality of vitamin products for two reasons. First, the biological efficacy of these products is a determining factor in the performance of premix and feed. And second, their technological efficiency is a factor in raising the productivity of premix production facilities.

To help manufacturers respond effectively to this important concern, Adisseo has developed an innovative, practical method for evaluating the quality of feed vitamins. Among other things, the method is based on the three key criteria of technological efficiency: ease of use, Mixability™ and stability.

This Microvit™ User Guide presents the definitions and the means of measuring the assessment parameters for these three criteria. It also recommends methods for interpreting the results findings in the light of specific production objectives.

The Guide is divided into three parts:

• General information on vitamins, including molecules, products, production processes and formulations.
  
  
• Methods for measuring and interpreting the parameters for assessing the quality of vitamin products.
  
  
• Recommendations for using vitamin products in premix and feed plants.

In this way, the Microvit™ User Guide forms an integral part of the Vitamin Certification System™ and its associated Vitamin Premix Clinic™ training program for premix and feed manufacturers.
