Effect of AVI-MUL TOP GP10 on nutrients digestibility.
This trial was performed using an indigestible marker in the mash diet (0.5% Cr2O3) to evaluate nutrients digestibility.
The supplementation of AVI-MUL TOP GP10 decreased the content of organic matter, crude protein and ether extract in faeces, consequently increasing their digestibility in ileum.

The effect of AVI-MUL TOP GP10 on nutrient digestibility of broiler chicks
The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effect of a innovative emulsifiers on the nutrient digestibility of 72 broiler chicks, from day 21 to 27 post-hatch. The trial was performed with the use of an indigestible marker in the mash diet (0.5% Cr2O3), to evaluate nutrients digestibility. Results showed that the supplementation of 500 g/ton of AVI-MUL TOP GP10 numerically increased the broiler digestibility of organic matter, crude protein and ether extract in ileum digesta. As a consequence, the content of these parameters in feces decreased, meaning an increased absorption of nutrients.
