Abstract
Chelation is a bonding formed between a metal ion and legend. Chelating
improves the absorption of the mineral from the digestive tract. The level of chelated
minerals in livestock feeding is typically added at 25-30% of the total mineral in a feed.
Chelated minerals have improvement in reproduction, health, soundness and growth. Natural
feed with strong chelating properties includes dry melt residues and molasses. The antinutritive
effect of oxalates - chelating with calcium lead to hypocalcemia, tetany, eventually
death when high doses of oxalates is consumed. Chelates are costlier, recently have seen
increased usage in horse and dairy cattle feeds.
