Tracemin (100ml) Essential Trace Minerals and Amino Acids

Price: $7.25

QTY Out of stock

Tracemin is made up of essential Trace Minerals and Amino Acids that have been specifically formulated to make them water soluble and easily absorbed from the gut.

Trace Minerals are important for normal feather quality and sustained reproduction. Seed diets are commonly deficient in Trace Minerals and essential Amino Acids. Correcting deficiencies will result in improved production, healthier birds and longer life. The combination of Trace Minerals and Amino Acids (Lysine and Methionine) greatly increases gut absorption and body utilization of Trace minerals.

Dose Rate:
(Water) Mix 10mLs of Tracemin in each litre of drinking water. Supply for three days each week.

(Food) Mix 5mLs of Tracemin in 1Kg of Food.

Ingredients:
Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Cobalt, Lysine and Methionine

Guaranteed Analysis:
Zinc 9.75mg/mL
Copper 1.56mg/mL
Manganese 6.60mg/mL
Cobalt 0.01mg/mL
Lysine and Methionine

Vetafarm Article:

For your birds to breed and be healthy they must have a good balanced diet. All birdkeepers will tell you most seed diets are known to be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Seed diets are also low in essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein).

The major trace minerals are Zinc, Iron, Copper , Cobalt and Manganese. In the farming areas of Australia, minerals are becoming deficient as farmers grow more and more crops. Often the deficiencies go unnoticed until our birds, who rely on needs as the bulk of their diet, begin to have reduced egg production, infertility, poor feather color, increased disease outbreaks and shorter lives.

The addition of vitamins to the diet is common and easy. Trace minerals on the other hand are quite difficult to give in a form that is useful to your bird. Not all mineral supplements are the same! Many are nothing more than pulverized rock! Tracemin is unique because it combines pure trace minerals with amino acids in a liquid concentrate that can be added to water or mixed with food. The specially made minerals are rapidly absorbed by your birds so immediate benefit occurs. Once absorbed these minerals act to boost the health of your birds by helping enzymes and hormones, by building haemoglobin (the oxygen carrier), strengthening skin, bone and tissue and promoting feather colour.

We all know Amino Acids are essential for protein production. Methionine and Lysine are the two most important amino acids. Tracemin uses a combination of these amino acids to increase absorption and overcome lack of minerals and amino acids in the diet. Mineral absorption in animals is a very complex process. Often the combination of foods in the gut leads to minerals being unavailable for absorption. Interestingly a common plant ingredient called “phytate “ is known to bind with ordinary trace minerals and make them unavailable for absorption. Tracemin overcomes this by having the mineral already combined to a useful amino acid.

The addition rate is 10 mLs to the Litre of
drinking water. Tracemin may also be added to soft foods at a rate of 20mLs per Kg.
