Mineral form’s influence on enzyme supplementation response

Increasingly, the agonistic and antagonistic effects of feed components have come under scrutiny, with choice of components gaining increasing importance in diet formulation. The possibility for negative interactions occurring between individual components within premixes and feeds is high, and while metal ions can act as enzyme inhibitors, little thought is given to the potential for mineral induced inhibition of enzyme activity.

Stop wasting vitamins, trace minerals in animal feeds

Vitamins and trace minerals are routinely added in almost every commercial feed for all animal species, making their manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales a global industry worth billions. Thus, every prudent nutritionist would be wise to constantly evaluate the vitamins and trace minerals added, their most efficient form and, of course, their payback in terms of animal productivity and health.
