ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2025 67 SUPPLEMENTING HENS WITH ESSENTIAL TRACE MINERALS Studies conducted by NOVUS and published in independent, peer-reviewed journals2 have shown the epigenetic effect of feeding bis-chelated trace minerals in the form of metal chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine (as MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals) to broilers, breeding hens, and roosters. These highly bioavailable bis-chelated minerals contribute to chicken development, including enhancing hatchability, livability, and performance for breeding stock and their resulting progeny.2 References 1Aleksandra Dunislawska, Elzbieta Pietrzak, Ramesha Wishna Kadawarage, Aleksandra Beldowska, Maria Siwek, Pre-hatching and post-hatching environmental factors related to epigenetic mechanisms in poultry, Journal of Animal Science, Volume 100, Issue 1, January 2022, skab370, https://doi.org/10.1093/ jas/skab370 2Fabricia de Arruda Roque, Juxing Chen.
