Our trace mineral programme abilities
- Bioavailability: The unique crystalline structure of IntelliBond increases trace metal absorption from the intestinal tract across the intestinal wall and into the blood system.
- Solubility: lntelliBond has low solubility at a higher pH, which avoids negative interactions in the upper digestive tract and the rumen. lntelliBond is more soluble in a low pH environment allowing a slower, more stable release throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
- Traceability: All our solutions are handled with the greatest care. History of a production lot includes identifying the origin of raw materials, the processing conditions of the production lot, results of raw material and final product test analysis, source and origin of packaging, and the customers to whom the production lot was distributed.
- Stability: Many trace mineral sources can reduce feed quality, due to their reactivity, for example, degrading vitamins. Our solutions are stable and do not interact with antagonists in the feed.
- Digestibility: Animals fed copper sulphate, zinc sulphate, and manganese sulphate have lower NDF digestibility compared to animals fed a ration containing lntelliBond trace minerals at iso-metal levels.
- Palatability: Animals prefer to consume lntelliBond over sulphate trace minerals across a variety of supplementation stages and strategies. Taste aversion to ionic metal appears to occur in Cu, Mn, and Zn, as each had an effect on animal preferential intake when examined separately.
