Manganese chelate of lysine and glutamic acid

What it is. Nutritional additive from the trace element compounds functional group (3b509), presented as a powder combining manganese chelated with lysine and manganese chelated with glutamic acid, in a 1:1 ratio. The preparation has a manganese content of 15 to 17%, a lysine content of 20 to 21.5% and a glutamic acid content of 22 to 24%, with a maximum moisture content of 3.5%.

What it is for. This additive supplies manganese in chelated form, intended to meet nutritional requirements for this trace element in all animal species. The chelated form aims to favour the stability and uptake of manganese in premixtures and compound feed. It is incorporated into feed exclusively in the form of a premixture.

Points to watch. The authorised maximum manganese content is 100 mg/kg for fish and 150 mg/kg (total) for other species. The additive contains nickel, with a maximum level set at 4 ppm; procedures and, where necessary, personal protective equipment are required to limit inhalation, skin or eye contact risks linked to heavy metals.
