What are Chelated Minerals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace\nminerals are essential for daily biological functions of livestock and poultry.\nAlthough trace minerals are found in very small amounts, the balance is crucial\nfor everyday metabolic functions of the animal. Minerals also play an important\nrole in regular dietary requirements of animal feed and are essential for\ngrowth, reproduction and milk\/ egg production There are two forms of trace\nminerals: Inorganic and organic. Ordinarily premix manufacturers utilize the\ninorganic form of trace minerals since they are the cheapest source of\nminerals. Even with high supplementation levels, it is common that minerals\nsupplied in inorganic forms are not absorbed at the levels and speed required\nby animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, essential minerals are destroyed during the digestion process due to interactions with other components of feed. Chelated Minerals are useful in animal nutrition to protect trace minerals during digestion. The primary objective of forming chelates is to increase the bioavailability of minerals to the animals to support metabolic functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelation Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\nChelation process literally denotes, \u201cbringing together,\u201d refers to a bond\nformed between a metal ion (mineral) and a ligand (protein or amino acid\nchelating agent) carrier. A mineral complex is a mixture consisting of a\nmineral and an organic compound carrier, such as a protein; a chelate is a type\nof complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When inorganic mineral compounds, generally in sulphate or oxide form, are released and ionized in the stomach\u2019s low pH, the electrically charged forms of the minerals are able to react with other products of digestion. Complexes with naturally occurring organic ligands must form if absorption is to occur. However, the formation of insoluble, unavailable substances may also result, especially in the small intestine, when pancreatic bicarbonate restores a higher, more neutral pH. Chelated minerals are therefore used to increase bioavailability and uptake. The chelated mineral reaches the plasma intact and separates at the site of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of Chelated Minerals to Animals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Glycinates\nand other chelated minerals play an imperative role in animal nutrition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Improvement in animal produce quality (meat, milk, egg, wool etc.,)<\/li>
  • Improves the bioavailability of minerals<\/li>
  • Counteracts the anti-nutritional factors, which affects minerals<\/li>
  • Improves Performance<\/li>
  • Health improvement (immune status, functional nutrition)<\/li>
  • Reduces the degenerative effect of trace minerals on vitamins in premixes and feed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Advantages of using Chelated Minerals to manufacturers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Chelated\nminerals are bound to organic compounds such as amino acids or proteins. This\nis what makes the price slightly higher than inorganic minerals. However,\nchelated minerals allow for better absorption and overall utilization when\ncompared to inorganic minerals. Chelated minerals can be recognized by the\nterms \u201cglycinate or amino acid chelate\u201d following the mineral. Usually,\ninorganic mineral may not be absorbed to provide the animal with adequate\nconcentrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is where chelated minerals provide the maximal benefit while being cost effective. Additionally, animals fed organic sources of essential trace minerals excrete lower amounts in their faeces, and so there is less environmental contamination <\/p>\n\n\n\n
