When supplementary feeds are being used that are low in trace elements, e.g. maize, brassicas, PKE or cereal silage, peak use rates will be required. DOSE RATE - IODINE CHELATE™ WHAT IS A CHELATE? A chelate is a chemical compound containing a metal ion encircled by non-metal ions. In a mineral supplement the presentation of minerals as chelated products helps retain the mineral in the rumen and intestine and thus improves the bioavailability. By comparison the same mineral when presented in a sulphate form passes more readily through the digestive system to be expelled from the body with reduced bioavailability.
