Abstract
The invention relates to a synergistic premix for animal nutrition in the form of a ternary solid of magnesium and a trace element, which premix may consist essentially of a solid solution of a magnesium oxide and an oxide of a trace element selected from iron, copper, zinc and manganese. This premix may be obtained by a process comprising a step of preparing a dry mixture of a raw material of the trace element oxide and a raw material of magnesium oxide, then a step of heating the mixture of raw materials to a temperature ranging from 700° C. to 1500° C.
Claims14
A premix for animal nutrition comprising a ternary solid of magnesium, at least one trace element and oxygen, said trace element being selected in the group consisting of iron, copper, zinc and manganese.
A process for manufacturing a premix for animal nutrition, said process comprising a step of heating, at a temperature ranging from 700° C. to 1500° C., a mixture comprising at least one powdery raw material of a magnesium oxide, and at least one powdery raw material of a trace element.
(canceled)
A method for producing at least one biological effect selected in the group consisting of increasing the weight gain of the animal, supporting the growth of the animal, improving feed efficiency, improving the feed conversion index and supporting the assimilation of nutrients, in a non-human animal, said method comprising a step of feeding the animal.
