Abstract
Three experiments were conducted to measure the availability of gentian violet from commercial additives containing various carriers. The tested products were mixed with water or with buffer solutions simulating the chicken digestive tract. Maize-cob meal as a carrier reduced the availability of gentian violet from additives regardless of solution pH. The availability of gentian violet was high for products containing calcium carbonate followed by a product with diatomaceous silica as the carrier. Studies also indicated that clay, magnesium silicate and maize-cob meal, in that order, “tie up” more gentian violet in a liquid medium than diatomaceous earth and calcium carbonate.
