Trace elements have a vital role to play in the many metabolic functions within the body. There are two broad categories of trace minerals. They are inorganic trace minerals and organic trace minerals. Organic trace elements are chelates or complexes of minerals with organic ligands. Organic trace minerals in animal nutrition are easier absorbed in the gut and have improved bioavailability. When minerals are bound to chelating agents like amino acids or hydrolyzed proteins, they become stable and thus, less reactive in the digestive tract. The common organic trace minerals for cattle, swine, aqua and poultry nutrition are iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and chromium.   Why OTMs?   Supplementation of organic trace minerals in animal feed improves body weight gain and production of egg and milk etc. Another important application of organic trace minerals is reducing excretion, which reduces environmental pollution and wastage of nutrients. Apart from production, organic

  Antioxidants are added in poultry feeds to protect the feeds from oxidation and deterioration during storage. The usage of antioxidants as animal feed supplements has increased in the recent past. Nutriox has proven to be one of the most effective antioxidants for animal feeds. Requirement Of Feed Antioxidant Poultry feed risks spoilage due to oxidation. The process of oxidation destroys the nutrient content of the feed, mainly the fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Oxidation in feeds results in the rancidification of carotenoids, fats, amino acids, and Vitamins A, D, E & K. Oxidation creates an odor and makes the feed unpalatable for poultry. The oxidation of feeds reduces its nutritive value and if spoiled feed is consumed, it can create massive nutrient deficiency. The presence of certain trace minerals in poultry feeds may also catalyse the oxidation process. It requires feed protection specifically to ensure that the nutrients are not destroyed and thus comes the need to use feed

  Animal feed supplement products have been added to the diet of animals, birds, and fish for optimum   h ealth and increased production. These animal feed supplements have now become an essential part of the modern farm industry for their numerous benefits including improving profitability of the farmer. In order to make efficient use of these additives, it is important to ensure that animals are able to absorb the nutrients given to them. The inclusion of an external emulsifier becomes important as it helps in better fat digestion and absorption.   Lysophospholipid  based emulsifiers have a proven role in the absorption of nutrients in the body by enhancing the permeability of the absorptive surface. The Role of Lysophospholipids In Emulsifiers Lysophospholipids are a class of phospholipids that aid in the absorption of fat and other nutrients through the cell membrane. Lysophospholipids promote fat absorption by forming micelles with monoglycerides and fatty acids. The micelles form
