Trace mineral nutrition can be a tricky balancing act. Complexing and chelating trace minerals Is when the mineral is processed to ensure bio-availability.
Trouw Nutrition’s IntelliBond products are the first line of hydroxy trace minerals for use in animal feeds and support high levels of bio-availability. IntelliBond minerals have an OH group that creates a strong covalent bond with the mineral.
These “smart bonds” help protect the mineral in the feed and the upper digestive tract, allowing for less reactivity and targeted availability. Simply put, IntelliBond minerals are available when and where they are needed the most.
Research has shown that providing minerals from varied sources, including both inorganic and complexed sources can optimize their uptake in the lower digestive tract, in turn improving your horse’s ability to meet their trace mineral needs through their diet.
Having Trouw Nutrition’s proprietary IntelliBond minerals helps to support mineral availability without increasing the volume fed!
