Iron Methionine

Iron Methionine Chelate is the third generation of trace mineral feed additives. It is manufactured with one metal ion bound to one methionine molecule which form ring compound with proper structure. This organic ring compound is very stable when passing the pre-intestinal volatile environment which allows the organic iron to reach the target organs and tissues to maximize the utilization of trace minerals. At the target organs or tissues, the Iron Methionine Chelate is absorbed as a whole molecule by the way of peptide path and amino acid path. Meanwhile, the metal ion was bound into a complete molecule and this reduces the antagonistic functions. The best bioavailability of Iron has been well ensured as all mentioned above.

On the other hand, Iron Methionine Chelate offers less ruining to other nutritional ingredients in the feed like vitamin, protein, etc. It also offers better palatability. These have improved the feed quality and feed efficiency.

Benefits of Iron Methionine Chelate:

SpeciesTargetBenefits
SwinePiglet1Increasing the feed intake by improving feed palatability with enriched flavors of amino acid and faint flavor of metal;
2Improving piglet growth rate by providing more effective iron source;
3Reducing hypo ferric anemia;
Fattener1Improving the synthesis of hemoglobin and improving the skin color;
2Improving the synthesis of myoglobin and improving the meat color;
Sow1Increasing piglet birth weight and survival rate; improving the piglet growth rate when lactation;
2Improving feed palatability and increasing feed intake when sow in heat stress in summer;
3Increasing iron content in milk (iron glycine chelate easily passing sow placental barrier), increasing piglet iron reserve and preventing piglet hypo ferric anemia.
