Previous work has shown that NuxaFen® can partly replace synthetic vitamin E in broiler diets without altering zootechnical performance (Dewez et al., 2022).


Evaluate the capacity of NuxaFen® to partially or totally, replace synthetic vitamin E in broilers fed a diet with high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, Fe and metabolizable energy (ME).

The study was conducted with the research service of ZOOTEST, Ploufragan and within a commercial barn (GAEC de La Ville Gestin, Gestin 22640).
One thousand and twenty (1020) day-old ROSS-308 chicks (100% males) were weighed and
