Hydroxy trace minerals: SMART BONDS PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHY PETS

摘要

Commercial diets are generally well balanced and meet the dietary requirements for trace elements. Still, optimisation of the diets remains useful to consider. Great differences exist between trace mineral sources in terms of food stability and availability for the animal. Each source has a distinct influence on stability of sensitive food ingredients (like vitamins and fats). Moreover, differences in bioavailability of the trace elements, as well as the availability of feed ingredients which interacts with trace minerals are of importance for animal health. With the development of new stable forms of trace mineral sources, nutritional solutions can be provided on premix, food and animal level.
