Hello,

This is not really my field, but I felt tempted to look into this one!

I was unable to find any UK English site with "gelatin and starch-coated sugar support".

I found repeated examples of "starch-coated matrix of gelatin and sugar" and wondered if this was the same, and therefore more translatable??

Vitamin D3 is essential for proper deposition of calcium and phosphorous particularly during the period of growth when the development of the skeleton takes place.

Advantages of Nicomix AD3 Type 50/5
Animal Nutrition Research has established that Nicomix AD3 Type 50/5 is preferred because:

*

Nicomix AD3 Type 50/5 contains vitamins which are completely absorbed by the animal and, therefore, has full biological activity.
*

Nicomix AD3 Type 50/5 contains vitamins A and D3 in a starch coated matrix of gelatin and sugar so as they protect them from deleterious effects of light, air, moisture and minerals. Therefore, when dispersed in animal feed containing the usual minerals and other ingredients, it shows excellent stability of both vitamins under Indian conditions.
