However it was, reported in 2008 that,,,Vitamin A deficiency increased despite the mandatory fortification programme.

The weight cumulative feed, intake and liver retinol stores of chickens on different diets.Were measured over a 6 week period.The fortified white maize meal diet was able to maintain the vitamin A status of the chickens.Poor absorption of the fortificant vitamin A is therefore not a constraint in combating vitamin A defi -.Ciency. It is in therefore also important to focus on the level of fortification delivered when consumed as a.Traditional prepared dish. In the traditional diet maize porridge, is often consumed with only a relish. The.Total fat content of the traditional meal is very low lacking absorption, enhancers.
