Common Ingredients
Cobalt
27
Co
Cobalt is an essential component of Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which plays a key role in energy metabolism and the production of red blood cells. Supplementation of cobalt is routinely added to animal feed to ensure synthesis of Vitamin B12 is occurring.
Copper
29
Cu
Copper is available in several forms, with absorption rate dependent on copper source. Copper is an essential trace mineral required by the animal for growth and hemoglobin formation. Copper is also an essential component of a number of enzymes.
Iodine
53
I
Iodine is an integral component of the thyroid hormones which regulate cell activity and growth and is essential in metabolism, reproduction, and thermoregulation.
Manganese
25
Mn
Manganese is an essential trace mineral required by the animal. Primarily concentrated in the bone and liver. Manganese helps animals synthesize fatty acids and cholesterol, but is primarily essential for bone strength and reproductive health.
Selenium
34
Se
Selenium is an essential trace mineral, required by the animal. Selenium supports normal growth and fertility, as well as aids in the prevention of other health disorders such as mastitis and scours. Selenium is necessary for numerous metabolic processes such as antioxidant defense capacity, immune function, and reproductive function.
Zinc
30
Zn
Zinc is an essential trace mineral for animals functioning largely in enzyme systems and involved in protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and several other biochemical reactions. Zinc also plays a key role in immune and reproductive function.
