Microelements are a group of chemical elements contained in the body of animals and poultry in very small amounts, and are necessary component for the proper passage of biochemical and physiological processes – determines their growth, development and productivity, in particular:

Iron. It participates in the transport of oxygen to tissues, stimulates the function of blood forming organs. When poultry has iron deficiency it disturbs creation of red blood cells, anemia occurs and changes the color of feather, when pigs have iron deficiency it can lead to anemia accompanied by poor growth, coarse hair covering, wrinkled skin. In cattle, iron deficiency leads to reduced resistance to disease, especially in young cattle, loss of appetite, stunted growth.

Copper. An important component of metal Proteides that regulates redox processes, takes part in the processes of hemoglobin formation, promotes the maturation of red blood cells. Copper is necessary for normal development of embryos, and also stimulates the activity of the immune system and resistance to stress by maintaining body homeostasis. The copper requirement of young animals is higher than that of adults. When poultry have copper deficiency, feather pigmentation is disturbed, limbs are deformed, their growth is slowed down, bleeding occurs. Pigs show signs of rickets, sudden fractures, cardiac and vascular disorders. In cattle – reproductive ability is disturbed, skeletal damage occurs, anemia, violation of hair pigmentation.

Manganese. It is present in all tissues, but it is more concentrated in the liver. Manganese is vital for the animals. It activates many enzymatic processes, facilitates blood formation, strengthens poultry egg shells, stimulates egg formation, improves embryo health, facilitates fat and protein assimilation, disinfects gastrointestinal tract, facilitates functioning of blood-vascular gland. In addition, manganese deficiency leads to low fertility and disorders of bone formation.

Zinc. Its role is related to enzymatic processes, it has a significant impact on basic life processes: blood formation, reproduction, growth and development of the animal, carbohydrate metabolism and energy metabolism. The need for zinc increases with intensive growth and puberty, as well as with high calcium content in feed. Therefore, zinc deficiency is characterized by poor appetite, stunted growth, disorders of feather growth, its pigmentation and replacement – in poultry; keratinization of skin, birth of fewer piglets with less weight – in pigs; reduced appetite, parakeratosis of skin, slow growth, immune system disorders – in cattle.

Iodine. The role of iodine in the body is related to the synthesis and metabolism of thyroid hormones, it is a component of thyroid hormones and is necessary for stimulation of ovum maturation, ovulation and embryo development. Therefore, acute iodine deficiency in farm animals causes drowsiness and weakness, increase in the thyroid gland, the occurrence of edema, slowdown of basic metabolism, obesity, disorders of reproductive function and inhibition of growth.

Selenium. It is essential for the process of seeing as a retinal photocell, and its potential is also actively used to prevent cancer.

Cobalt. It is a part of vitamin B12, promotes better absorption by the body of vitamins A, E, and C. Cobalt suppresses the activity of a number of pathogenic microorganisms in the digestive tract, increases the synthesis of muscle proteins; increases blood activity and sexual activity of males and stimulates protein metabolism. With a deficiency of cobalt, the assimilation of calcium and phosphorus decreases, anemia develops, and the growth of young animals is delayed.

Therefore, in order to increase the productivity of animals and balance the microelement balance of the organism of farm animals and poultry, it is necessary to add a small amount of microelement mixture.

Instructions for using the microelement mixture: (daily requirement for 1 head):
