How to identify the quality of trace element feed？

China's feed additive industry is developing rapidly. Trace elements are one of the essential nutrients for animals and have irreplaceable physiological and biochemical effects. Changes in trace elements in animals not only affect the body itself, but also affect the growth, reproduction, metabolism and production of toxins in the body. More and more people are aware of the importance of trace elements, which has led to some problems in the market of trace elements feed additives. This article will introduce these problems in detail and propose solutions

The content of this article is as follows

• Market problem performance,

• The solution 

• Conclusion

1. Market problem performance,

• The market for trace element additives is disorderly, and there is a lack of access threshold for products.

Due to the huge market the feed additives in China, a large number of foreign countries' the feed additive manufacturers and distributors have seized market share, resulting in increased competition in the trace element feed additive market.

• Part of the supervision and industry self-discipline is absent, and the long-term mechanism of the feed additive market is not perfect.

Different culture stages use different formulas of the feed additives. From June to October, it is the peak period of use of trace element feed additives. The sampling quality of trace element feed additives should be carried out at any time. As the main part of the feed additives, the the feed additive management station lacks the technology, equipment and qualifications for the monitoring of the feed additives. The supervision of the production of local the feed additives is notorious, and the regulation of the sales market for the feed additives is even more powerless. 

• The purchase and sale of the feed additives is not standardized, which easily leads to various disputes.

In recent years, the typical cases of China's trace element feed additive market have shown that once the quality of the feed additives falls, or the dealer illegally intercepts, misappropriates, or wastes the advance payment, it is very likely to cause dealers to carry money. The phenomenon of defection or inability to pay.

2. Solution

• The state strengthens the control of the trace element market

• Farmers themselves learn to identify the quality of trace elements

          In order to distinguish the quality of trace elements, it is necessary to understand the standard of trace element feed.

          Elemental compound ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, trace element Fe content (%) is 20.1;

          Elemental compound ferrous sulfate monohydrate, trace element Fe content (%) is 32.9;

          Elemental compound ferrous carbonate, trace element Fe content (%) is 41.7;

          Elemental compound copper sulfate pentahydrate, trace element Cu content (%) is 25.5;

          Elemental compound copper sulfate monohydrate, trace element Cu content (%) is 35.8;

          Elemental compound copper carbonate, trace element Cu content (%) is 51.4;

          Elemental compound manganese sulfate pentahydrate, trace element Mn content (%) is 22.8;

          Elemental compound manganese sulfate monohydrate, trace element Mn content (%) is 32.5;

          The elemental compound manganese oxide, the trace element Mn content (%) is 77.4;

          Elemental compound manganese carbonate, trace element Mn content (%) is 47.8;

          The elemental compound zinc sulphate heptahydrate, the trace element Zn content (%) is 22.75;

          The elemental compound zinc sulfate monohydrate, the trace element Zn content (%) is 36.45;

          Elemental compound zinc oxide, trace element Zn content (%) is 80.3;

          The elemental compound zinc carbonate, the trace element Zn content (%) is 52.15;

          The elemental compound sodium selenite, the trace element Se content (%) is 45.6;

          The elemental compound potassium iodide, the trace element I content (%) is 76.45;

          Elemental compound calcium iodate, trace element I content (%) is 65.1;

          The elemental compound sodium selenate, the trace element Se content (%) is 41.77;

• The manufacturer strictly controls itself, according to the standard production of trace element feed

3. Conclusion

It is believed that with the development of the society, the feed industry will continue to develop, and the problems of the micronutrient feed market will be solved. However, before this, it is necessary for animal producers to learn to distinguish the quality of the micronutrient feed in order to obtain the ultimate benefits.
