BASF glycinates can be dissolved directly in water and do not need to be dissolved beforehand. Since they have less potential to build complexes with phytate, a higher absorption rate by gut mucosa an even greater efficiency from supplemented phytase can be expected.
Maximum allowed concentrations according to EU regulations:
| Maximum content of Iron in mg/kg of the complete feed or in mg/day | |
| Ovine | 500 (total1) |
| Bovines and Poultry | 450 (total1) |
| Piglets up to one week before weaning | 250 mg/day (total1) |
| Pet animals | 600 (total1) |
| Other species | 750 (total1) |
1 The amount of inert iron is not to be taken into consideration for the calculation of the total iron content of the feed.
