There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. You need larger amounts of macrominerals. They include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur. You only need small amounts of trace minerals. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a mineral supplement.
Substitution Of Inorganic Trace Minerals
This approach, even though inefficient, is doable when vitamin prices are favourable but can be costly when the price fluctuates and certain vitamins are in short supply. One solution is to substitute inorganic trace minerals within the premix with the organic form. Also, several in vitro and in vivo observations have indicated that organic trace minerals, especially in the chelated form, had less destructive effects on vitamin stability than inorganic forms.
Effect Of Trace Mineral Source
The activity of vitamin D3 in the inorganic premix lost almost 50% stability compared with the Bioplex premix, and the activities of riboflavin and pyridoxine in the inorganic premix lost 35% compared with that in the Bioplex premix. These losses are not only substantial and costly but can also potentially create sub-clinical deficiencies and have a detrimental effect on performance. Researchers concluded that totally replacing inorganic minerals with Bioplex minerals in a vitamin-mineral premix can significantly increase the stability of vitamins in feed premixes containing both vitamins and trace minerals. When comparing the impact of different trace mineral types and sources on the activities of 3 commercially available phytase products, researchers reported a significant relationship between phytase inhibition, trace mineral type, source and concentration. Overall, the trace mineral source with the least inhibitory effect across the minerals and phytases tested was Bioplex trace minerals. In this study, different organic trace mineral products exhibited different abilities to inhibit phytase, i.e., not all trace mineral products are created equal, emphasizing the need for product-specific research when evaluating different products.
