Effect of Chelated Trace Mineral Supplementation on Production Performance
in Ruminants
CREDIT SEMINARON
The word “chelate” is derived from Greek word “chele” means claw. The metal is held and protected in a claw like grip by the ligand. (mineral + ligand).
When metal ion combines with an electron donor, it forms a coordinate covalent bond & thus metal chelate is formed.
Ligand must contain a minimum of two functional groups (oxygen, nitrogen, amino or hydroxyl)
Introduction
Classification of Chelates
i. On the basis of source
a. Natural Chelates :
b. Synthetic Chelates :
•Chlorophyll •Cytochrome •Vit.B12•Haemoglobin
•Metal amino acid complex
•Metal polysaccharide complex
•EDTA-Zn
•proteinates
ii. On the basis of their action
• Type l:
chelates which help in storage & transport of metal ions.
e.g. metal amino acid , EDTA.
• Type ll.
Chelates essential in metabolism.
e.g. Heamoglobin , Cytochrome.
• Type lll.
Chelates which interfere in utilization of essential cations.
e.g. Phytic acid – Zn , Oxalic acid – Ca.
Types of Chelates and Other Complexes
1. Metal (Specific Amino Acid) Complex: e.g. CuLys Complex, ZnLys Complex, MnMet Complex.
2. Metal Amino Acid Complex: e.g. Cu amino acid complex, Zn amino acid complex etc.
3. Metal Amino Acid Chelate: e.g. Cu amino acid chelate, Zn amino acid chelate etc.
4. Metal Proteinate: e.g. Cu proteinate, Zn proteinate, Mn proteinate etc.
5. Metal Polysaccharide Complex: e.g. Cu polysaccharide complex etc.
(According to the AAFCO, 1997)
Mode of action
Chelated minerals must be stable in the rumen environment & abomasum but utilized in small intestine intact. (Kidds et al.,1998)
↑ Absorption of Zn from Zn-Met. May lead to a larger Zn pool , thereby ↑ Zn-metallothionine , plasma zinc & immune cell function. (Wedekind et al., 1992)
Zn-Methionine may be metabolized intact after absorption. (Spears et al., 1989)

Significance of Chelated Minerals
Mineral chelates are
i. More bio-available.
ii. Highly stable. iii. Increase voluntary intake.
iv. Protected from forming complex with other dietary components that inhibit their absorption.
( e.g. phytate - ↓ zinc absorption)

Ward et al., (1996) & McDonald (1995) found similar results in cattle with Cu Proteinate and in sheep with ZnLys.
Roshan Lal (1990) fed Karan Swiss calves with diets supplemented with Cu , Zn & Mn in chelated form and showed that ADG was better than control & ADG of the group fed 50% with mineral Chelate was almost similar to the animal fed 100% of mineral in inorganic form.
Puchla et al., (1999) found that Angora goats fed supplemented ZnMet diet had ↑ ADG in comparison to control goat receiving ZnO (65.5 vs 55.9 g/d).

Effect of chelated mineral supplementation on Milk Production and its components
Parnerkar (1991) fed 4 groups of cross bred cows with Albion chelates and Cu, Mn, Zn caseinate (prepared) and showed that the production of milk significantly differed between groups with the Albion chelates being the best, followed by the prepared chelates and inorganic form of minerals.
In Bombay veterinary college (2002) researchers reported 15% ↑ in total milk production and milk fat ↑ from 3.67 to 4.16 % in cross bred cows (Gir Holstein Jersey) supplemented with a mixture of Cu, Co, Zn, Mn AAC. The % of milk protein was same for both groups.

Diff. letters within rows indicates significant difference.
Shaikh et al., (2004) found that adding Cr yeast improved significantly feed intake in Holstein cows as compared to control group, but no difference in production efficiency were found.
Hayirli et al., (2001) reported that heat stress decreases feed intake & milk production, and adding chromium yeast to the diet relieved this effect.

Ovarian Activity of Holstein heifer Fed Amino Acid Chelated Minerals vs Control
(Manspeaker et al., 2004)
Stanton et al., (2000) reported that a higher pregnancy rate to AI was observed in cows receiving organic Cu, Zn, and Mn Vs inorganic forms.
Manspeaker et al., (1993) found that treatment of cows with selected mineral amino acid chelates produced positive effect on ovarian activity, endometrial health, embryonic viability and overall fertility.
Corbellini et al., (1997) reported that there was a significant
reduction in prevalence of dystocia, endometritis and parturition conception interval in cows supplemented with Zn-Met chelates.

Effect of chelated mineral supplementation on Blood and Tissue Levels
Influence of copper source on copper retention in calves; pre- vs. post-stress
(Nockles et al., 1993)
Rojas et al., (1996)
showed no difference between organic and inorganic Zn sources in plasma or tissue concentrations of cattle supplemented with normal or low concentration of Zn .
Spears and Kegley (2002)
Kessler et al., (2003)
Cao et al., (2000)
showed that Lambs supplemented with 1400mg of Zn/kg from ZnProt had greater liver MT than lambs receiving ZnSO4.

Milk Selenium concentrations in dairy cow during a supplementation period of 12Wk
(Pehrson et al., 1999)
Selenite and selenate have a limited capacity to increase the concentration of Se in milk from dairy cow, and there are no significant difference between two inorganic compounds.
Organic Se yeast is much more effective than inorganic compounds and increases the Se in milk within 1 wk after the beginning of supplementation. (Ortman et al., 1999)

Effect of chelated mineral supplementation on immunity
Clark et al., (1995) found that Heifers fed ZnMet, CuLys, MnMet, Cobalt glucoheptonate showed greatest response to cell mediated immunity & highest no. of leucocytes & neutrophils.
Spears et al., (1991) reported that the Serum antibody titre in response to BHV-1 and PI-3 vaccination were 47% and 37% higher in Steers fed ZnMet compared to control and ZnO.

Chromium supplementation (0.4 mg/kg) from CrCl3, High-Cr yeast, Cr nicotinic acid did not significantly affect performance of feeder steers fed a corn silage based diet.
Mowat and Shageer ( 1993) reported that supplemental chromium from a high Cr-yeast improve performance and immune response in stress feeder calves.
Chang and Mowat (1992) Observed increased serum IgM and a tendency for increased serum IgG1 and IgG2 in calves supplemented with high Cr-yeast.
Conclusion
Bio-availability of chelated minerals is more than inorganic form of minerals.
Supplementation of Chelated Trace minerals has positive effect on the growth and reproductive performance of ruminants.
Chelated minerals improves the immune status of animals.
Chelated minerals have the potential to maintain/improve the performance of ruminants during stressful conditions like adverse environment, transit, parturition and high production.
1. Determine the mode of action whereby organic trace mineral
supplements improve ruminant performance.
2. Better define conditions where performance or health responses may be expected.
3. Define the optimal level of organic trace minerals that should be added to the diet, and
4. Determine if responses observed are of a magnitude necessary to justify the cost.
