Indispensable trace elements in animal breeding
The physiological properties and functions of copper and zinc are well known. They are considered to be essential trace elements for animal nutrition. The lack of supply of these elements can have a negative impact on animal physiological processes and thus affect animal health.
High concentrations (ie, over normal health and production needs) of zinc (zinc oxide), copper (Copper Sulfate) and salts have a positive impact on further improving animal health and improving performance, and the tradition of zinc and copper for the treatment of diarrhea The form needs to be replaced because these minerals are not easily digested and will accumulate.
For example, providing zinc (zinc oxide) in an amount of 2000 to 3000 ppm can effectively reduce diarrhea in weaned piglets, increase their immunity, and increase the weight of piglets. However, it should be noted that the above effect will only be achieved within 2 weeks after weaning. If it is more than 2 weeks, the effect will not be obvious. At the same time, copper (copper Sulfate ) having a content of 250 ppm (still in the allowable range) can also achieve the same effect.
One of the most important problems with these high concentrations of trace elements in dosing feeds is excretion. Because animals use a limited amount of trace elements, a larger portion of the minerals that are ingested from food are excreted through the feces, and the level of excretion depends on the source of zinc and copper, the dietary composition, and the nutrients ingested by the animal.
It is generally assumed that the excretion of zinc and copper is about 80% to 90%, but these excretions may cause excessive accumulation of trace elements in the environment, soil and water (drinking water) and pollute the environment. So how to solve the problem of excretion of trace elements, farmers can try the following methods to solve the problem of excretion: mineral organic sources. Zinc and copper derived from organic matter are generally more stable and have higher efficiency in reaching the organ. Zinc and copper bioavailability from organic sources has been found to be much higher than inorganic forms of zinc and copper.
Increase the effective surface area. Minerals can be in contact with microorganisms to exert their antibacterial and bactericidal effects. The effective area of ​​minerals can be increased by a variety of methods, one being absorbed by clay minerals. Another method is conventional zinc oxide micronization, which has a very good effect in increasing the effective surface area.
Package. Minerals can be covered by certain types of lipids, reducing their breakdown in the stomach and allowing them to be released into the intestinal tract to exert their effects. Currently, low dose packaged products can provide good results.
Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Chloride are normally used in food additives, low-sodium salts as stabilizer, nutrition supplement, salt substitute, gelling agent, yeast food, condiment, pH regulator, tissue softening agnet etc.
The Chloride ion /ˈklÉ”Ëraɪd/ is the anion (negatively charged ion) Cl−. It is formed when the element chlorine (a halogen) gains an electron or when a compound such as hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water or other polar solvents. Chloride salts such as sodium chloride are often very soluble in water.[4] It is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating fluid in and out of cells. Less frequently, the word chloride may also form part of the "common" name of chemical compounds in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded. For example, methyl chloride, with the standard name chloromethane (see IUPAC books) is an organic compound with a covalent C−Cl bond in which the chlorine is not an anion.
A chloride ion is much larger than a chlorine atom, 167 and 99 pm, respectively. The ion is colorless and diamagnetic. In aqueous solution, it is highly soluble in most cases;
Sea water contains 1.94% chloride. Some chloride-containing minerals include the chlorides of sodium (halite or NaCl), potassium (sylvite or KCl ), and magnesium (bischofite), hydrated MgCl2. The concentration of chloride in the blood is called serum chloride, and this concentration is regulated by the kidneys. A chloride ion is a structural component of some proteins, e.g., it is present in the amylase enzyme.
Role in commerce.
The chlor-alkali industry is a major consumer of the world's energy budget. This process converts sodium chloride or Potassium chloride into chlorine and sodium hydroxide or Potassium hydroxide, which are used to make many other materials and chemicals.
Water quality and processing:
Another major application involving chloride is desalination, which involves the energy intensive removal of chloride salts to give potable water. In the petroleum industry, the chlorides are a closely monitored constituent of the mud system. An increase of the chlorides in the mud system may be an indication of drilling into a high-pressure saltwater formation. Its increase can also indicate the poor quality of a target sand.
Chloride is also a useful and reliable chemical indicator of river / groundwater fecal contamination, as chloride is a non-reactive solute and ubiquitous to sewage & potable water. Many water regulating companies around the world utilize chloride to check the contamination levels of the rivers and potable water sources.
An example is Potassium chloride, which is Potassium chloride with the chemical formula KCl. In water, it dissociates into K+ and Cl− ions. Salts such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride have varied uses ranging from medical treatments, food additive to industrial applications.
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a salt that is marketed in pellet form for removing dampness from rooms. Calcium chloride is also used for maintaining unpaved roads and for fortifying roadbases for new construction. In addition, calcium chloride is widely used as a de-icer, since it is effective in lowering the melting point when applied to ice.
