Chelates In Animal Nutrition
Chelates in animals food are organic forms in animals food, forms of essential trace minerals such as copper, iron, manganese and zinc.
The animals absorb,digest and use mineral chelates better than inorganic minerals. This means that lower concentrations can be used in animal feeds. In addition, animals fed chelated sources of essential trace minerals excrete lower amounts in their feces and so there is less environmental contamination. Mineral chelates also offer health and welfare benefits in animal nutrition
