AMINOTRACE in cattle feed

In cattle feeding, the demands placed on the supply of trace elements are higher, not only due to the variations in the fodder, but also due to influences from the rumen. Supplies of the trace elements copper, zinc, manganese, iodine, cobalt and selenium are generally inadequate for ruminants. It is therefore important to supplement them through their feed. Negative interactions with other elements also need to be taken into account (see Fig. 1).

With the use of AMINOTRACE, adverse interactions of this kind can be significantly reduced. In addition, due to the better availability, absolute levels can be reduced, which also lessens the antagonistic interactions between the trace elements.

AMINOTRACE is also used in SCHAUMANN-milk replacer, whereby the vitality and performance was improved. Trials show, that daily gains are increased about 5,7 % (Copper-Bis-Lysinat) or rather 5,0 % (Zinc-Bis-Lysinate) in comparison to calves, which are fed with sulphates.
