TONISITY
Tonisity Px Trial Results Conducted at 9,000 Sow Unit in South Africa
A Tonisity Px trial has been conducted at a 9,000 sow unit which is based in South Africa. The group that received Tonisity gained on average 260g at weaning and 365g at post weaning. The mortality rate also decreased from 8.5% to 7.9%. Furthermore, pre-weaning mortality percentage decreased to 7.1%. This means the producer has 6 more piglets per 1,000 piglets to take to market, which translate into a return on investment of R2.41 at pre-weaning and R1.52 at post-weaning for every Rand invested. As a result, weight gain increased, mortality decreased, and the return on investment improved.

If it doesn’t say IntelliBond, it isn’t!
If it doesn’t say IntelliBond, then it isn’t IntelliBond: This article provides an overview of what makes IntelliBond such a unique, strong and dependable source of Copper, Manganese and Zinc in animal feed. It also draws attention to the indispensable role these trace minerals play in the fertility, growth and health of animals. And yet, when they are provided in the form of IntelliBond they only comprise approximately 0,75% of the cost of a high performance feed. Nutritional integrity that is not worth compromising.

Trace Mineral Absorption in Ruminants
One of the most important yet misunderstood facts regarding trace mineral absorption is that inorganic, organic and hydroxy sources of Zn, Cu and Mn are all absorbed using similar mechanisms, receptors and transporters, in the small intestine.
The trace mineral source or bond, whether organic or inorganic is purely the vehicle to deliver the metal in the duodenum where it MUST DISSOCIATE to release the ionic metal, which is then actively transported by specific metal transporters, across the intestinal wall and into the blood stream. This is an extremely important mechanism and regulatory step to ensure optimised mineral HOMEOSTASIS. Therefore, any other mechanism of absorption will clearly obstruct HOMEOSTASIS. This is why IntelliBond’s unique characteristics make it the ideal source of Copper, Manganese and Zinc.
