In recent years producers started to consider “organic” forms of trace minerals due to low quality minerals sold by suppliers to the feed industry. The “organic” minerals are very costly and have insignificant bioavailability improvement when compared to high quality forms of trace minerals (Fig. 2 and 3).

Naturamin™ also helps producers to solve some of the overall health, skeletal, egg shell and hatchability problems associated with mineral deficiencies caused by low quality mineral premixes. These problems in-clude but not limited to perosis, chondrodystrophy, retarded growth, poor feathering, exudative diathesis, anemia, ataxia, spastic paralysis, thin-shelled eggs and poor hatchability.
