PANCOSMA SA B-TRAXIM®


2C: efficient mineral supplementation


Growing scrutiny over the excretion of minerals and their effect on the environment, worker’s health and possible bacterial resistance, has resulted in decreasing supplementation levels in animal feed. Reduced supplementation of minerals, but also growing knowledge about the essential function of minerals to support high producing farm animals, are reasons that choosing mineral sources is becoming increasingly important. Organic trace minerals have been shown to reduce excretion and


at least maintain animal performance, which provides the possibility to reduce mineral supplementation without compromising performance. However, not all sources of minerals, organic or inorganic, have the same impact on bioavailability. Pancosma SA has developed a range of metal glycinates (iron,


copper, zinc and manganese bound to the amino acid glycine), B-TRAXIM®


2C. Protected by patents, these products are unique,


both for their composition and production process. Research and development have proved the chemical structure, the stability of the organic bond and most importantly the improved bioavailability in all the main species. Using glycine as a ligand, together with the production process of B-TRAXIM®


2C, ensures pure metal glycinates (without


carriers and free-flowing agents) and high metal concentrations. Product characteristics of mineral sources are important selection


criteria for feed and premix producers around the world. The main focus is on safety (dust control, smell), cross-contamination in production facilities (caking, free-flowing characteristics) and distribution in premix and feed (homogeneity of particle size). B-TRAXIM®


2C products are


produced using a specific spray granulation process, providing a very homogenous, dust-free, odourless, stable and free-flowing micro- granulate, perfect for premix and feed production.

THOMSON & JOSEPH LTD Thomson & Joseph “The Mineral Specialists” provide effective nutritional solutions to resolve mineral related metabol ic


disorders and diseases in livestock, including: MAAC - Metal Amino Acid Chelates, the bioavailable range of


minerals from Novus, the world’s premier supplier of chelates for farm animals. The MAAC range uses Glycine as the chelating ligand in a di-peptide heterocyclic molecular structure. Glycine has the lowest molecular weight of all amino acids and consequently this feature introduces a smaller molecular size to the MAAC chelate range to the benefit of mineral absorption and utilisation. Published trials demonstrate the ability of the MAAC range to improve dairy cow


productivity and fertility. The use of Glycine as the chelating agent has enabled a


quantitative method of analysis to be developed based on Infrared Spectroscopy which is capable of directly measuring the key chemical bonds which determine whether a product is truly chelated. Novus has also obtained EU Feed Additive registrations for their range of Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc Glycine chelates; this being a prerequisite to their use in feed and supplements. SoyChlor – a new generation partial anionic dietetic feed for


minimising hypocalcaemia in dairy cattle at calving. Developed by Professor Jesse Goff and Dr Ron Horst of the University of Iowa, it incorporates all the latest research findings on resolving hypocalcaemia, which is the single most significant cause of economic loss in dairy cattle.


Mineral Analysis – T&J also offers a comprehensive mineral


analysis service covering forages, soils, slurry/manure, water, milk and feed materials.

YARA Superior phosphorus digestibility for sustainable animal production Phosphorus is an essent ial


macromineral for all animals, but is the second most expensive nutrient in livestock diets. Make sure you choose high quality feed phosphates to support animal performance and wellbeing. Several aspects should drive this decision (1) phosphorus digestibility (2) phosphorus content (3) undesirable substances (4) product consistency. The purity of the phosphoric acid, of volcanic origin, and Yara’s


integrated production process, according to GMP+ standards, ensure the consistency of all Bolifor®


inorganic feed phosphates and a level


of undesirable substances well below that stipulated by EU feed legislation. Phosphorus digestibility of Bolifor®


MCP has proven to be


superior amongst other monocalcium feed phosphates available in the market. Our exclusive Bolifor®


MSP contains 24% of phosphorus with


a proven superior phosphorus digestibility among any other inorganic feed phosphate. This specialty contains 20% of sodium without chlorine, which helps to achieve an adequate dietary electrolytic balance, and therefore, a proper acid-base balance in the animal’s body. Due to their high quality, our Bolifor®


feed phosphate range require


lower inclusion rates than other feed phosphates in the market. Bolifor® feed phosphates will maximise phosphorus retention whilst minimising phosphorus excretion. Bolfor®


contributing to environmental sustainability. Yara.com/animal-nutrition
