This product a comprehensive blend of highly concentrated minerals designed for maximum on-farm benefit. Agvance uses the highest-quality, organic, genuine copper and zinc mineral chelates to deliver maximum absorption of nutrients, promoting superior animal health and optimal immunity.

With Solutrace Metaboliser Plus, you know you’re giving your dairy cows the best support throughout the year by minimising exposure to animal health issues.

The Solutrace Metaboliser Plus story

Solutrace Metaboliser Plus has been consistently refined over the years to adapt to increasing cow requirements and scientific developments. The copper and zinc glycinate chelates are the foundation of this blend, with the quality and cow performance results setting it apart from others in the market. As Metaboliser Plus developed, Agvance built boron and chromium into the blend to further increase its efficiency and reach as a market leader in the delivery of trace minerals to the cow. Today, Metaboliser Plus is Agvance’s leading water-soluble trace mineral blend, delivering the best-quality-available minerals to the New Zealand dairy cow.

What do farmers have to say about Solutrace?

“We farm on peat land on the edge of Hamilton City. Mineral deficiencies can be a real problem in our area, particularly copper and selenium. We have used Solutrace formulations for years, with excellent results. Since using these products, our cows have always looked in good health with shiny coats and have never shown any deficiency symptoms you would normally expect on peat land. Our submission and conception rates are excellent and our cows always produce exceptionally well. Using Solutrace is a breeze. Being in totally soluble powder form, they are very easy to handle and go into solution instantly on contact with water. For us, these products are a quick and simple cost-effective way of taking care of the trace mineral requirements of our cows.”
– Wayne Ford, Hamilton (475 cows)

What the research shows

A dairy cow study found that replacing inorganic copper, zinc and manganese entirely with glycinate sources increased milk yield, fat- and protein-corrected milk, plasma zinc and immunoglobulin G, while somatic cell count was lower than in cows receiving the minerals from sulphate sources. (DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2026.116803)

A lactating Holstein cow study found that zinc supplied as zinc glycine increased plasma zinc and superoxide dismutase activity and reduced somatic cell count compared with zinc oxide or no supplemental zinc, while dry matter intake, milk yield, bodyweight and body condition score were not significantly changed. (DOI: 10.4314/sajas.v49i5.11)

A transition and early lactation Holstein cow study found that chromium propionate supplementation tended to increase pre-calving dry matter intake and lower pre-calving plasma non-esterified fatty acids, and reduced the incidence of cytological endometritis at 40 to 60 days after calving, while postpartum milk yield was not significantly changed. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2013-7796)

Limits

These studies examine glycinate sources of copper, zinc and manganese, zinc glycine and chromium propionate in dairy cows. They do not test Solutrace Metabolizer Plus itself.

Study details and links

What was tested

Dairy cow research covering complete and partial replacement of inorganic copper, zinc and manganese with organic mineral sources, zinc supplied as zinc glycine compared with zinc oxide and other zinc sources, and chromium propionate supplementation from the pre-calving period into early lactation.

What was measured

Milk yield, fat- and protein-corrected milk, milk composition, somatic cell count, plasma zinc, immunoglobulin G, superoxide dismutase activity, dry matter intake, bodyweight, body condition score, blood metabolites, reproductive measures, plasma non-esterified fatty acids and postpartum uterine cytology.

More detail on limits

The research supports broader principles around glycinate trace mineral sources, zinc supplementation and chromium propionate in dairy cows, but it should not be read as a direct product trial for Solutrace Metabolizer Plus.
