Trace elements have the smallest proportion in feed—but they make all the difference! E.C.O.Trace® Manganese is glycine-bound manganese designed to unlock the full nutritional potential of your feed. Benefit from the sustainable effects of the highly bioavailable manganese and experience improved animal growth, immunity, and production. E.C.O.Trace® Manganese 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.
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.
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.
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.
Manganese is important for healthy animals. It is an essential component of several enzyme systems and is also a component of the antioxidant system. Manganese plays an important role in growth, bone, and cartilage formation; normal neurological function; and optimal eggshell quality.
Despite manganese’s importance, it is often supplemented as inorganic manganese such as manganese oxide or sulfate. However, inorganic manganese is easily separated in the gut allowing for the formation of insoluble complexes with other free metals or other dietary components. This results in unabsorbed manganese being excreted in the feces, potentially contaminating the environment.
Organically bound manganese is a manganese bound to a single amino acid or a small peptide from hydrolyzed soy protein. Organic manganese has greater binding strength and is better protected from antagonistic effects in the gut. The result is manganese that is better absorbed and metabolized, with a direct impact on animal health and productivity.
E.C.O.Trace® Manganese is an organic form of manganese bound to the amino acid glycine, also commonly known as glycinate. This has numerous advantages over inorganic forms of manganese such as manganese sulfate. The manganese-glycine complex provides superior stability at the low pH found in the gastrointestinal tract. This results in fewer insoluble complexes between different dietary compounds in the gut and less antagonistic effects between mineral transport. In addition, effective transport to the intestinal wall and beneficial absorption rate leads to higher bioavailability.
Manganese is only a small part of the total feed—but it makes all the difference! Manganese can only provide nutritional value if it is absorbed. E.C.O.Trace® Manganese has been successfully used in high-performance animal feeds with proven superior absorption over inorganic manganese. E.C.O.Trace® Manganese glycine-chelates are an easy choice!
