MINERALS
Definitions
The proportion of the element consumed that is utilized for a
biochemical or physiologic function (ODell, 1997)
A measure of the proportion of the total amount of a nutrient
that is utilized for normal body functions (Fairweather-Tart, 1999)
The degree to which an ingested nutrient in a particular source is
absorbed in a form that can be utilized in metabolism by the
animal (Ammerman et al., 1995)
The fraction of the ingested nutrient that is utilized for normal
physiological functions or storage (Jackson, 1997)

Classification of organic
minerals
1. Metal (specific amino acid)
Complex
2. Metal Amino acid Complex
3. Metal Amino acid Chelate
4. Mineral proteinnates
5. Mineral polysaccharide complex
Metal Amino acid Chelate The product resulting from the reaction of
a metal ion from a soluble metal salt with amino acids, with a mole ratio
of one mole of metal to one to three (preferably two) moles of amino
acids to form coordinate covalent bonds.
Amino acids molecular weight must be approximately 150 the Chelate
molecular weight must not exceed 800. The minimum metal content
must be declared. When used as a commercial feed ingredient,
Examples are:
1)Calcium amino acid chelate
2)Cobalt amino acid chelate
product
is the
Examples are:
Copper polysaccharide complex
Iron polysaccharide complex
Mode of action
Stable in rumen environment & abomasum
Conclusions
Chelated minerals usually cost more, per unit of
metal element, than the same metal in inorganic form.
Historically the argument against chelates was that
increased use of inorganics was more economic than
feeding chelates.
However, there is indication that in some
situations(high producers & Stressed @), chelates can
achieve biologic endpoints that inorganics cannot.
