Novotech proposes to use its submicron copper powder (NMET™ Cu-UP) as a highly effective mineral additive to animal feed and premixes, which can significantly reduce the environmental load of farming and increase its profitability.
- NTMET™ Cu-UP powder’s high specific surface area makes it possible after a short mixing together with grain components to evenly distribute the micro additive in the volume of feed or premixes. When grinding cereal components together with NTMET™ Cu-UP particles, a complex organic copper compound is formed, which ensures high bioavailability of copper. A more uniform distribution and high bioavailability of the additive in feed allows to significantly reduce required amount and, correspondingly, to reduce the environmental load. NTMET™ Cu-UP may be easily integrated into existing premix and feed production.
- NTMET™ Cu-UP is an organic alternative to traditional growth enhancers that allows to reduce the need for antibiotics by providing a preventive effect against diseases in the animals and, correspondingly, improve the general health of animals (reducing mortality and diseases of livestock, etc.).
- The benefits of the proposed micro additive include:
– It is highly pure and contains only organic/green components, which provides a natural mechanism for its absorption in the body of animals. NTMET™ Cu-UP is almost completely absorbed like dietary sources of copper (from the small intestine into the blood) and ensures that there is no early release of copper in the feed or digestive tract, which avoids environmental pollution with animal waste containing copper, as well as sulfates, chlorides, etc. The economic advantages of using NTMET micro additives are provided not only by a reduction in the required microelements and their relatively low cost but also by a noticeable increase in livestock productivity and a significant reduction in the environmental load.
