With QualiTech SQM protected minerals®, you can Feed Less, Get More™.
QualiTech’s PolyTransport® technology uses a polysaccharide complex to protect organic trace minerals as they travel through the digestive system until they arrive precisely at the point of absorption—intact and ready to provide optimal nourishment, benefit, and value.
You’re feeding trace minerals.
Are they getting used?
Are they getting past digestive antagonists and into the small intestine, where they can be absorbed and make a difference?
THEY ARE IF YOU FEED SQM ORGANIC TRACE MINERALS.
PROVEN BIOAVAILABILITY
Nutritionists and other experts agree that trace minerals play an important role in animal growth, health, and performance – if those minerals get absorbed by your animals. Low or variable bioavailability can mean some mineral products never get absorbed, or never get used.
The bioavailability of SQM is proven. Only SQM organic trace minerals use PolyTransport technology, effectively delivering the bioavailable trace minerals animals need to ward off problems, stay strong in harsh conditions and realize their potential. With SQM, you can be confident the trace minerals you’re feeding will get absorbed so your animals can thrive.
RESULTS
SQM minerals get in, get absorbed, and get to work. SQM nourishes and strengthens beef cattle, dairy cows, swine, poultry, equine, and other species by supporting the following:
- Optimum overall animal health
- Robust reproductive performance
- Excellent hoof health
- Strong immune function
SQM® Copper
Critical functions of copper include reproduction, immunity, bone formation and maturity, iron metabolism, cellular respiration, hair and wool pigmentation, and lipid metabolism.
Copper is an essential trace mineral for all stages of production throughout an animal’s life.
To keep animals healthy and productive, it is necessary to ensure they are able to consume and absorb enough copper from the diet to meet the needs of these critical functions. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the copper you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Copper is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Iron
Iron has been recognized as a required trace mineral since ancient times, and iron deficiency is probably the most common deficiency disease affecting swine.
Although iron deficiency is not of any real concern in other livestock species, it is required in the diet to maintain bodily functions. Many biochemical reactions in their body require iron, particularly those involved in electron and oxygen transport. In addition, iron plays a key role in two of the enzymes that break down peroxide molecules, thus helping the animal stay healthy.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the iron you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Iron is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in an animal’s body and is found largely in the bones and teeth.
However, in addition to these structural roles, magnesium is necessary for many of the enzymes involved with energy metabolism, protein synthesis, muscular contraction, immunity, and possibly even reproduction. Magnesium is the only macro-mineral product produced by QualiTech.
A common disease resulting from magnesium deficiency is grass tetany. This can occur even when a high magnesium supplement is fed simply because the animal does not consume the supplement due to the bad taste associated with magnesium oxide. Replacing some of the magnesium oxide with SQM magnesium can help to alleviate this problem.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the magnesium you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Magnesium is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Manganese
Manganese is considered a dietary essential for all animals, and deficiencies have been noted in swine, poultry, and ruminants that are fed diets formulated with normal feed ingredients.
While the dietary requirement for manganese may seem low, it plays a vital role in many physiological functions, including, but not limited to, reproduction, immunity, bone growth, enzyme activity, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism.
Keeping your animals healthy and productive is your goal. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the manganese you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Manganese is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Zinc
One of the most extensively studied trace minerals over the last 30 years, zinc is associated with over 300 metalloenzymes with functions throughout the animal’s body.
Zinc is also intimately associated with a number of hormones, thus playing an important role in both the male and female during reproduction. In addition, zinc is necessary for proper growth, skeletal formation, skin and wound healing, and immunity.
Because zinc has so many diverse roles, it is imperative that animals consume enough zinc daily to meet their body’s needs for growth, reproduction, and immunity. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the zinc you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Zinc is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
