Trace elements are essential for the vitality and productivity of animals. Added to animal feed, they serve, for example, to strengthen immune functions and thus animal welfare. Organically bound trace elements such as glycinates are highly bioavailable. BASF’s solution leaps further, with the new glycinate product line showing a high degree of complexation.
“The degree of complexation of our glycinates, which directly reflects in bioavailability and water solubility, goes up to 95%,” said Chris Rieker, who heads BASF’s global business Animal Nutrition. “This is an outstanding outcome. With the right ideas, every aspect of animal nutrition can be made better and less straining, financially and environmentally. This time, our idea comes in particles.”
BASF’s glycinate series includes copper, iron, manganese and zinc. Because of their high bioavailability, they optimally supply the animal with trace elements, and the environment benefits from less excreted trace elements.
