B.I.O.Key®

DefinitionOrganically bound trace minerals (zinc, copper, manganese, iron): Metal chelates of amino acids, hydrate.Application areasSwine, poultry, cattle, horses, pets, aquaculturePropertiesB.I.O.Key®organically bound trace minerals have been successfully approved in animal nutrition since more than 15 years. The nameB.I.O.Key®stands for metal chelates of amino acids, hydrate, in which the metal ion (zinc, copper, manganese, iron) is organically bound in chelated form to amino acids, derived from hydrolysed soy protein.The chemical structure inB.I.O.Key®prevents negative interactions between the metal ion and other feed compounds in the digestive tract and increases the absorption and bioavailability of trace minerals.B.I.O.Key®trace minerals are demonstrably better available to the animal than conventional inorganic sources. This enables the improvement of the efficiency of trace minerals in the feed, and the reduction of the excretion rate. The risk of a physiological deficiency and performance depression is reduced. Moreover,B.I.O.Key®products contribute indirectly to the stability of vitamins in mineral-vitamin premixes.Advantages*.High bioavailability scientifically proven*.Safe supply status for high-performance animals*.Reduced risk of deficiency and performance depression*.Less environmental pollution due to reduced excretion of trace minerals*.Support of vitamin stability in premixesProducts*.B.I.O.Key®Zinc*.B.I.O.Key®Copper*.B.I.O.Key®Manganese*.B.I.O.Key®Iron
