Furthermore, researchers wishing to medicate feeds had to have their protocols cleared at the highest level.

How to improve the absorption of trace elements in monogastric animals

Trace elements perform important physiological functions, such as the complex functions in metabolism, and deficiencies can lead to general disorders, which is why they are provided in the feed. Though important for maintaining optimal livestock health and performance, the importance of benefits from trace element supplementation tend to be underestimated.
