Abstract

A trace element solution comprises at least the following metals: zinc; manganese; selenium; and copper; and which comprises a concentration of the metals of at least 90 mg/ml. The solution may comprise the following concentrations: at least 60 mg/ml zinc; at least 10 mg/ml manganese; at least 5 mg/ml selenium; and at least 15 mg/ml copper. The solution may comprise chromium, iodine and chromium.

Claims (35)

1 . A trace element solution with a concentration of the metals of at least 90 mg/ml, said trace element solution:

(a) manganese carbonate dissolved in water wherein manganese sulphate and sodium carbonate are not used in situ manufacture of the manganese carbonate;

(b) zinc;

(c) copper; and

(d) selenium,

wherein the trace element solution has a concentration of metals of at least 90 mg/ml.

2 . The trace element solution of claim 1 , zinc is present in an amount of 60 mg/ml.

3 . The trace element solution of claim 2 , further comprising ethylene diaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA) and/or ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS).

4 . The trace element solution of claim 1 , further comprising ethylene diaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA) and/or ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS).

5 . The trace element solution of claim 1 , further comprising chloro-cresol.

6 . The trace element solution of claim 1 , further comprising chromium.

7 . The trace elements solution of claim 1 , wherein the metals have the following concentrations:

(a) at least 10 mg/ml manganese;

(b) at least 5 mg/ml selenium; and

(c) at least 15 mg/ml copper.

8 . The trace elements solution of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of zinc to manganese is at least 2:1.

9 . The trace elements solution of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of zinc to manganese is at least 4:1.

10 . The trace elements solution of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of zinc to copper is at least 2:1 or 4:1.

11 . The trace elements solution of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of zinc to selenium is at least 4:1 or 12:1.

12 . The trace element solution of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the metals is provided in the form of an ethylene diaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA) complex and/or an ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS) complex.

13 . The trace element solution of claim 12 , wherein the EDTA source is EDTA acid, disodium EDTA, tetra-sodium EDTA, calcium EDTA, potassium EDTA and/or any other EDTA source.

14 . A trace element solution with a concentration of the metals of at least 90 mg/ml, said trace element solution:

(a) manganese produced from manganese carbonate dissolved in water wherein manganese sulphate and sodium carbonate are not used in situ manufacture of the manganese carbonate;

(b) zinc;

(c) copper; and

(d) selenium,

wherein the trace element solution has a concentration of metals of at least 90 mg/ml.

16 . The trace element solution of claim 14 , zinc is present in an amount of 60 mg/ml.

17 . The trace element solution of claim 16 , further comprising ethylene diaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA) and/or ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS).

18 . The trace element solution of claim 14 , further comprising chromium.

19 . The trace elements solution of claim 14 , wherein the metals have the following concentrations:

(a) at least 10 mg/ml manganese;

(b) at least 5 mg/ml selenium; and

(c) at least 15 mg/ml copper.

20 . The trace elements solution of claim 14 , wherein the ratio of zinc to manganese is at least 2:1.
