Did you know ? Certain specific oxides can offer excellent bioavailability
The oxides offered by Animine (CoRouge®, HiZox®, ManGrin®), which are unique on the market, have a bioavailability similar to or even higher than that of some chelates considered among the most bioavailable. The physico-chemical characteristics of Animine’s oxides result from a unique manufacturing process. These properties give these oxides high bioavailability.
When comparing the bioavailability of zinc from chelated sources and HiZox® in broilers, it is observed that HiZox® is as bioavailable, or even more so, than other zinc sources.
The assessment of the relative bioavailability of chelated zinc sources is based on studies published between 2002 and 2021, using broilers. The evaluation relies on several biological parameters: zinc levels in bone, plasma, liver, and pancreas. ZnSO₄ (zinc sulfate) is used as the reference, with bioavailability set at 100%.
The results show that the relative bioavailability of chelated zinc sources varies depending on the parameter analyzed. Moreover, bone zinc concentration is considered the most reliable indicator of zinc absorption. Based on this indicator, chelated sources show a relative bioavailability ranging from 105 to 164%, while HiZox® reaches 160%.
The bioavailability of HiZox® is therefore at least equivalent to, if not higher than, that of the best chelated zinc sources.
