Learn how MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals can help you save on your mineral inclusion rates.

Highly Available Organic Trace Minerals

Chelated to the hydroxy analogue of methionine, HMTBa, a precursor to L-methionine, this unique additive provides organic minerals and methionine to support reproductive performance, improve structural health, and foster overall health and immune function.

MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals are delivered to the site of absorption while avoiding antagonisms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or from the diet that would otherwise diminish their effectiveness. More minerals absorbed means you can reduce overall mineral inclusion rates.

MINTREX® Trace Minerals for Piglets

The impact of the reduced feed intake and growth piglets typically experience at weaning can affect overall development. Highly bioavailable minerals in the form of MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals can help with these experiences. Piglets fed this combination of organic zinc, copper, or manganese and HMTBa are shown to support:

  • Average daily gain
  • Feed conversion ratio
  • Fecal consistency
  • Gut health
  • Livability

MINTREX® Blends Trace Minerals

Changing regulations. Shifting perceptions. New goals and objectives. For swine businesses to succeed, producers need the right health and nutrition solutions. How do they get them? Through intelligent nutrition.

MINTREX® Zn Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral

MINTREX® Zn Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral improves the digestibility and absorption of zinc for the distribution to tissues for added value on impact on disease resistance, reproductive performance, and skeletal structure matrix development. Furthermore, improved absorption by the pig reduces the amount of zinc available in the intestinal tract for contribution to mechanisms of co-selection of antimicrobial resistance and proliferation of resistant, pathogenic bacteria.

MINTREX® Cu Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral

MINTREX® Cu Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral improves the digestibility and absorption of copper for the distribution to tissues for added value impacts on energy metabolism, immune function, and connective tissue formation. Furthermore, improved absorption by the pig reduces bioaccumulation and the damaging effects on soil and water when copper-rich swine manure is applied to ecosystems.

MINTREX® Mn Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral

MINTREX® Mn Bis-Chelated Trace Mineral improves the digestibility and absorption of manganese for the distribution to tissues for added value impacts on antioxidant defense mechanisms, protein metabolism, and bone and cartilage formation. Furthermore, improved absorption by the pig reduces the concentration of manganese in swine manure applied to ecosystems that contributes to reduced water quality and harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems from bioaccumulation.
