Microvit® E Promix 50: When vitamin becomes investment  

Antioxidants play a central role in maintaining hen health:
•    Selisseo® (OH-SeMet) provides a highly bioavailable form of selenium that is efficiently incorporated into selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase: key enzymes that neutralize damaging free radicals.
•    Microvit® antioxidant vitamins (including vitamin E) protect cell membranes and help keep tissues functional under metabolic and environmental pressure.
By reducing oxidative stress, these antioxidants safeguard the liver, gut lining, reproductive system, and immune cells, helping hens maintain production, welfare, and robustness across the entire laying cycle.
 

Hens may require antioxidant support when producers observe:
•    Gradual decline in laying persistency or egg output
•    Decrease in eggshell thickness or strength, or more downgraded/cracked eggs
•    Reduced egg freshness during storage (albumen quality)
•    Lower feed efficiency or poorer nutrient utilization 
•    Weaker immune responsiveness or higher susceptibility to stress
•    Declining vitality, feather quality, or resilience in aging flocks
In these situations, adding Selisseo® and complementary Microvit® antioxidants can help restore antioxidant balance and performance.

Producers should evaluate:
•    Bioavailability: Organic selenium such as OH-SeMet (Selisseo®) is more efficiently absorbed and stored than inorganic selenium or yeast-based sources.
•    Antioxidant synergy: Combining selenium with vitamin E (Microvit® E) ensures both enzymatic and membrane protection.
•    Flock age: Aging hens have higher oxidative stress and benefit the most from a strong antioxidant program.
•    Production targets: Whether the goal is egg quantity, shell quality, longer cycles, enriched eggs, or cost-optimization.
•    Regulatory and product quality: Selisseo® enhances selenium transfer to eggs, supporting “selenium-enriched egg” claims where permitted.
Selecting a high-quality, consistent and well-documented antioxidant like Selisseo®, supported by Microvit® vitamins, helps ensure reliable performance.
 

A robust antioxidant strategy centered on Selisseo® and Microvit® delivers multiple economic advantages:
•    More saleable eggs thanks to improved eggshell strength and freshness
•    Better feed efficiency, lowering feed cost per egg
•    Longer productive lifespan, reducing flock replacement frequency
•    Improved selenium transfer to eggs (+50% vs sodium selenite; +20% vs seleno-yeast), enabling premium marketing when regulations allow
•    Lower losses from downgraded eggs or health-related setbacks 
•    Higher laying persistency and improved  resilience in late production
Overall, Selisseo®, supported by Microvit® antioxidant vitamins, provides a high return on investment by enhancing performance, egg quality, bird health and production longevity.
