Summary in the original language of the document
In this practice abstract, the four different controlled feeding trials using two riboflavin products at different concentrations showed that the newly available riboflavin product EcoVit R is equally suitable as the conventional one (Cuxavit); and that slow-growing broilers need less riboflavin than the currently recommended amounts for conventional broilers (Blum et al., 2015). Feed supplementation for organic slow-growing broilers is provided at 4.0 mg Vit B2/kg feed.
The practice abstract is recommended for organic farms raising slow-growing broiler chickens.
