Chelated minerals for poultry

Chelated Minerals for Poultry

Organic minerals have been subject of an increasing number of investigations recently. These compounds can be considered the most significant event regarding commercial forms of minerals targeting animal supplementation in the last decades. Minerals, especially metals, are usually supplemented in poultry feeds using cheap saline sources and have never required a lot of attention in terms of qua...

Preciseness of Chelated Minerals on the Performance of Animals

Chelation is a bonding formed between a metal ion and legend. Chelating improves the absorption of the mineral from the digestive tract. The level of chelated minerals in livestock feeding is typically added at 25-30% of the total mineral in a feed. Chelated minerals have improvement in reproduction, health, soundness and growth. Natural feed with strong chelating properties includes dry melt r...

Effect of minerals on activity of microbial uricase to reduce ammonia volatilization in poultry manure.

Inhibition of microbial uricase in poultry manure is critical to reduce NH3 volatilization, because hydrolysis of uric acid by microbial uricase is the first step in the production of NH3 gas in poultry manure. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of minerals on uricase activity and NH3 volatilization from poultry manure. In Experiment 1, an in vitro enzyme assay was used to...

Effect of trace minerals on the development of bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis in poultry

Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) is one of the most common forms of lameness in poultry. It is associated with opportunistic bacterial infections in the proximal long bones and gut barrier failure. Chelated trace minerals have been shown to improve bone strength and gut health, therefore we hypothesize that MINTREX, the chelated trace minerals, can improve bone structural inte...
