Microminerals Important Feed Components Organic Trace Elements More Effective Than Inorganic Forms

摘要

Microminerals required by aquaculture species in small quantities participate in a wide variety of biochemical processes. They therefore must be supplied in prepared diets to support optimal growth and production efficiency. The determination of mineral dietary requirements for aquatic animals is challenging due to their ability to absorb minerals directly from the aquatic environment as well as their diets. The increasing bioavailability and effectiveness of organic micromineral forms can dramatically reduce required inputs and decrease waste discharges.
