Copper-Glycinate

BASF glycinates provide trace elements in an organic form that is highly soluble and guaranteed to meet animal requirements.

Copper is important for the connective tissue. This means that it plays an important part in the health of the animals’ skin and cardiovascular health, but also in the process of eggshell production. Furthermore, copper protects against oxidation and it is needed as a co-factor for various enzymes.

How does the application of Copper-Glycinate work?

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 and even greater efficiency from supplemented phytase can be expected.

What is the maximum allowed concentration?

Maximum allowed concentrations according to EU regulations:

Maximum content of the element in mg/kg of the complete feed
Bovine	Bovines before the start of rumination: 15 (total) Other bovines: 30 (total) Ovines: 15 (total) Caprines: 35 (total)
Piglets	Suckling and weaned up to 4 weeks after weaning: 150 (total) From 5-th week after weaning up to 8 weeks after weaning: 100 (total)
Crustaceans	50 (total)
Other animals	25 (total)

Zinc-Glycinate

Zinc is important for collagen synthesis and keratin formation in hoof, skin, wool, hair and feathers. It also has a barrier function, protects against oxidation, and has a regulatory role in both cell turnover and repair of oxidative damage. Zinc is not only responsible for the reproductive and immune system, but also for proper growth according to your animals’ full genetic potential. Additionally, zinc is a co-factor in more than 200 enzymes.

Manganese-Glycinate

Manganese is essential for cartilage formation and the reproductive system. It protects against oxidation and is required for your animals’ energy supply and wellbeing.

Iron-Glycinate

Iron is responsible for oxygen binding in blood cells. It is also the main ion in many enzymes and plays a central role in antioxidative processes. Lack of iron leads to exhaustion and reduced performance.
