Utilizing improved mineral technologies, Novus International Inc. is introducing the BioOptimizedSM Trace Minerals Program. When using more efficient trace minerals, dairy producers can feed less mineral product and have less mineral waste through loss in excretion without sacrificing performance expectations.
With greater bioavailability, BioOptimized trace minerals from Novus are more effective at mineral delivery. Therefore, Novus proposes a three-step plan for dairy producers to use less mineral: Reduce, Replace, Reformulate.
“The best way to improve trace mineral performance is to get more use out of the mineral that’s being fed. Producers just need to meet the animal’s mineral requirement. The feeding of more bioavailable mineral sources at lower levels provides the same production responses and more efficiency,” says Geoff Zanton, Ruminant Nutrition Research Manager with Novus.
The BioOptimized Trace Minerals Program includes two product options: MINTREX® chelated trace minerals and MAAC® chelated trace minerals. Both are minerals that have the ideal ligand (or binder) for better bioavailability and greater results.
