Trouw Nutrition explains how to choose the right TM source

Abstract

Even small fractions of the animal's diet matter when it comes to influencing health and performance in poultry, swine and ruminant livestock. As essential nutrients in animal feed, trace minerals are a good example of how small considerations can have a big impact on health, performance and producer economics. Raw materials in the basal diet often do not contain enough trace mineral to fulfil the animals requirement, therefore they need to be supplemented.
