Mintrex®
Highly available organic trace minerals for swine
MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals offer a highly available source of organic zinc, copper, or manganese for swine at all stages of production.
Highly Available Organic Trace Minerals

Chelated to the hydroxy analogue of methionine, HMTBa, a precursor to L-methionine, this unique additive provides organic minerals and methionine to support reproductive performance, improve structural health, and foster overall health and immune function.
MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals are delivered to the site of absorption while avoiding antagonisms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or from the diet that would otherwise diminish their effectiveness. More minerals absorbed means you can reduce overall mineral inclusion rates.

The impact of the reduced feed intake and growth piglets typically experience at weaning can affect overall development. Highly bioavailable minerals in the form of MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals can help with these experiences.
Piglets fed this combination of organic zinc, copper, or manganese and HMTBa are shown to support:
• Average daily gain
• Feed conversion ratio
• Fecal consistency
• Gut health
• Livability
-
Maximizing the return on pigs at this phase is key. Due to higher bioavailability and better absorbability, MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals can be supplemented at a rate significantly lower than inorganic trace minerals, saving producers money while seeing the same or better outcomes.
Grow-finish pigs fed MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals see improvements in:
• Average daily gain
• Feed conversion ratio
• Market weight
• Livability
• Structural integrity
And the methionine value from HMTBa allows producers to decrease supplementation elsewhere in the ration.

Many aspects can impact sow profitability. MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals are highly bioavailable, increasing mineral deposition in the sow and helping support longevity, productivity and progeny performance, achieving the greatest overall return on investment.
Sows fed MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals see:
• Optimized structural integrity
• More pigs per sow per year
• Reductions in culling rate
• Lower mortality rates
• Improved hoof health
• Heavier piglets at birth
