NATURAMIN™ TRACE MINERAL PREMIX FOR ANIMAL DIETS  Preferred forms of minerals  High mineral bioavailability  Homogeneous mixture of minerals  Less animal health problems  Economical and effective results  Contributes to food and feed safety  Custom blending to meet client needs Copyright © 2012 CSP INC www.naturafeed.com ANIMALS HAVE MINERAL REQUIREMENTS NOT “ORGANIC” MINERAL REQUIREMENTS!! Naturamin™ provides the highest quality trace mineral premix to the customers. The product never contains forms of minerals that yield low bio-availability (Fig. 1). Table 1.

The “organic” minerals are very costly and have insignificant bioavailability improvement when compared to high quality forms of trace minerals (Fig. 2 and 3). Fig. 2.

These problems include but not limited to perosis, chondrodystrophy, retarded growth, poor feathering, exudative diathesis, anemia, ataxia, spastic paralysis, thin-shelled eggs and poor hatchability.
