Calcium research could transform the next generation of feed formulation
Trials in the initial phase indicated there are endogenous losses of Ca which must be taken into account by using STTD values, to avoid under-estimation of the STTD of Ca in ingredients and allow formulation of mixed diets.
Preparation of the post-ethoxyquin era: vitamin stability
The choice of trace minerals doses and sources interacts with oxidation kinetics in premixtures: some studies have shown that non water soluble sources of zinc and copper like HiZox® and CoRouge®, two products from Animine, can prevent vitamin degradation.
