Decrease of Cu and Fe concentrations from broiler droppings using dietary organometallic compounds

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the partial or total replacement of the inorganic Cu and Fe salts by organic forms of these elements on broiler performance and on the elimination of minerals through broiler droppings. A study was conducted for 42 days on 240 broiler chicks treated with trace elements chelates with amino acids: B-TRAXIMRTEC Cu-I30; B-TRAXIMRTEC Fe-120. The broiler chicks were housed in cages (10 chicks per cage, 6 cages per group) and assigned to 4 groups (C, E1, E3 and… Show more

“…Traditionally, trace minerals are supplemented in the form of inorganic salts, such as sulphates, oxides and carbonates, to provide levels of minerals that prevent clinical deficiencies and allow the bird to reach its genetic growth potential (Bao et al, 2007). These amounts may be 3-4 times higher than animal requirement (Untea et al, 2011). When trace minerals are fed in excess of animal requirements, more is excreted as waste because of homeostatic mechanisms that serve to regulate tissue concentration of minerals (Spears et al, 1996).…”
