Chelated Minerals

Today, we can have the benefit of better animal quality, higher productivity levels, improvement in profits, and growth speed thanks to modern genetic animal breeds. Better productivity, however, also comes with increased nutrition requirements. In spite of a number of animal feed supplements with high doses of minerals available on the market, these minerals aren’t absorbed at levels and speed as required by these animals as well, in inorganic forms. Minerals are crucial to the better performance of these productive animals in terms of higher milk production, growth, and reproduction. In inorganic forms, they are actively degraded due to their interactions with other constituents of the feed during digestion.

The best way to get around this problem is to make sure that organic trace minerals are added to the feed. This is the most optimal way to make sure that essential minerals are absorbed in the body of these animals naturally through the intestinal walls to make sure all their functions carry on appropriately and you get the best results.

What are chelated minerals? Organic Mineral Products are mainly in the form of metal amino acid chelates. Metal amino acid chelates are formed when the metal in its soluble metal salt form covalently reacts with amino acids in a mole ratio of one mole of metal to one to three moles of amino acids. This bonding between inorganic metal salt and organic amino acid is highly stable. This unique derivative helps in the protection of the inorganic mineral from antagonists in the early digestive stages by the organic part of the compound. This helps the mineral to get more rapidly absorbed during the right stage in digestion and thus be utilized more efficiently in the bodily processes of the animal. These chelated minerals have turned out to be extremely useful in trace mineral supplementation to animals. The amino acid in the chelate greatly improves the bioavailability of the mineral in the gut due to its stability across various pH levels. Also, the compound in itself is highly stable which makes it very useful. The covalent bond offers great molecular stability. The right conditions maintained by the team during the reaction of vegetable proteins/ Glycine with minerals aid in getting the right chemical connection.

Our chelated minerals are excellent, safe nutritional supplements for all kinds of animals and are useful in treating mineral imbalances caused by:

?1. Issues in mineral interaction and bioavailability

?2. Different kinds of stress – environmental, reproduction, transportation, etc.

?3. Variability in feed or inconsistent forage quality

Regular use of chelated mineral compounds in the animal diet has shown improvements in production and performance in:

?1. Weight gain, feed efficiency, and growth

?2. Improved feed conversion and production of milk

?3. Carcass composition quality

?1. Bone strength, immunity, lower mortality rate, and overall health

?5. Egg and eggshell quality

?6. Improved fertility and breeding
