Pancosma’s glycinate technology that provides higher bioavail- ability and support to physiological functions compared to inorganic minerals. Three scientific studies show the added value of B-Traxim PRO4 in ruminant production.” First, a study carried out at North Car- olina State University focusing on the bioavailability of min- erals in ruminants showed that apparent absorption and reten- tion of Zn and liver zinc concentration were higher for steers supplemented with these organic trace minerals than for ani- mals fed zinc sulphate or another organic source. In another study comparing the organic zinc source to zinc sulphate, North Carolina State University concluded that the organic
form had a positive effect on immune parameters. Lastly, a study in Spain investigated vitamin B12 synthesis by micro- organisms in the rumen. Cobalt is a key component of this syn- thesis and therefore needs to be supplemented and available in the rumen. Compared to an unsupplemented feed, the study showed a significantly greater formation of B12 by the rumen microbial population provided with a feed supplement- ed with B-Traxim PRO4. Precision feeding is a hassle-free ap- proach to consistently providing ruminants with the nutrients animals need – not more, not less. An effective way to improve performance while reducing waste, it’s good for the animals, good for the environment and good for production.
Precision feeding means feeding each and every ani- mal according to its individual requirements.
