Trace elements have the smallest proportion in feed—but they make all the difference! E.C.O.Trace® Premix Standard I is a mixture of glycine-bound trace minerals designed to unlock the full nutritional potential of your feed. Benefit from the sustainable effects of the highly bioavailable trace elements and experience improved animal growth, immunity, and production. E.C.O.Trace® Premix Standard I glycine chelates are an easy choice for all your animals!
Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity. Their modes of action add value and benefit.
Has an important role in the functioning of the antioxidant defense system and is indispensable for the free-radical neutralizing activities of antioxidants, preventing both cell and tissue damage.
Trace minerals and vitamins are important co-factors in physiologic processes. Trace elements function as activators of antioxidant enzymes. Vitamins have numerous roles in biochemical functions.
Effective transport to the intestinal wall leads to a higher absorption. Organically bound minerals have a superior bioavailability than inorganic minerals.
Because of the stability even at low pH values, there is less release of free metal ions in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
In organically bound minerals the metals are protected against antagonistic effects like creating undesired bonds between other feed molecules.
Trace minerals are important for healthy animals and are critical for optimal growth and performance. The amounts needed per day are measured in milligrams—or less—but are essential to sustain life, fight disease, and promote growth, development, and healthy reproduction in animals.
Despite the importance of trace minerals, they are often supplemented in an inorganic form, bound to sulfate or oxide. However, inorganic trace minerals are easily separated in the gut allowing for the formation of insoluble complexes with other free metals or other dietary components. This results in unabsorbed minerals being excreted in the feces, potentially contaminating the environment.
The key components in E.C.O.Trace® Premix Standard I are E.C.O.Trace® glycine chelates—trace minerals organically bound to the amino acid glycine, also commonly known as glycinates. Organic trace elements have greater binding strength and are better protected from antagonistic effects in the gut. The result is that more trace minerals are better absorbed and metabolized, with a direct impact on animal health and productivity.
E.C.O.Trace® Premix Standard I contains copper, manganese, and zinc in a 1:2:4 ratio and is formulated for swine, adult cattle, poultry, aquatic animals, horses, and other animals. E.C.O.Trace® Premix Standard I is an easy choice for all your feed!
