Solutrace Amino

If high levels of malignant are present in your pasture consider Amino. By supplying key minerals in chelated form, high tolerance to different feeds is achieved, making Amino an excellent all-around solution in balancing your animal’s diet.

FEATURES

Totally soluble
Key minerals in both chelated form and sulphate form which means a wider range and better delivery of nutrients to the animal
High-quality mineral chelates work well in combination, especially relevant to Copper and Zinc
Easy to use

BENEFITS

Better animal health with an effective mineral solution.
Access a wider range of minerals at much higher levels of concentration due to the dual mineral forms in Amino.
Amino will effectively combat high malignant levels in an animal’s diet if present on your farm.

What the research shows

A meta-analysis found that feeding organic trace minerals improved milk production and some reproductive outcomes in lactating dairy cows. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2010-3058)
A transition cow study found that replacing inorganic salts of cobalt, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium with organic trace minerals caused modest changes in feeding behaviour, rumen fermentation, energy metabolism and performance, including improved postpartum dry matter intake in multiparous cows. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-21908)
A dairy cow reproductive study found that replacing inorganic trace minerals with organic trace minerals caused modest improvements in resumption of ovarian cyclicity and changed preimplantation conceptus development, although conception risk and pregnancy rate were not changed. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22784)
A dairy cow study comparing inorganic and organic copper under added sulphur and molybdenum found that sulphur and molybdenum reduced hepatic copper concentrations, showing how dietary antagonists can reduce copper status even when copper is supplemented. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2012-6322)

Limits

These studies test organic trace minerals, copper source and trace-mineral antagonists, not this specific Agvance product.

Study details and links

What was tested

Research on organic trace mineral supplementation in dairy cows, including replacement of inorganic trace minerals with organic sources, effects on production and reproduction, and the effect of sulfur and molybdenum on copper status.

What was measured

Milk yield, milkfat, milk protein, reproductive performance, dry matter intake, feeding behaviour, rumen fermentation, energy metabolism, ovarian cyclicity, follicular fluid copper, conceptus development, plasma mineral concentrations and hepatic copper concentrations.

More detail on limits

Evidence supports the use of organic trace mineral strategies where trace mineral supply, form or antagonists are a concern, not Solutrace Amino on its own.
Responses depend on existing trace mineral status, basal diet, mineral antagonists such as sulphur and molybdenum, stage of lactation, dose, duration of feeding and wider herd management.
