Animine: launch of a new innovative source of purified Manganese

On November 25^th the company Animine launched its new innovative source of Manganese during a 100% digital event. Animine is a French and independent supplier of added value trace minerals which is completing its portfolio of speciality trace elements delivered worldwide, by the integration of MANGRIN^®.

MANGRIN^® is obtained by a unique process of manufacturing, it is a highly purified manganese source which makes it different from all others available on the market. The product also answers to the features of the range among which the following advantages are really differentiating:

• High concentration: the highest actually, ManGrin provides a min. of 75% of Manganese when most others sources vary between less than 10% to 60% for standard Manganese oxide
• High flowability: a key parameter is the reduction of airborne particles when handling such neurotoxic compounds as Manganese (*note for EU)
• High safety standards: ManGrin heavy metal (As, Cd. And Pb) content is far below other sources’ accepted level in EU legislation
• High stability: The characteristics of ManGrin make it less reactive to its environment, limiting interactions with other compounds from the premix preparation to the digestive tract.
• To finish, high bioavailability which when combined with previous advantages guarantees sustainable high performance.

*Particular attention should be drawn to the flowability and the homogeneous particle size of ManGrin^®. Indeed, the low content in fines is especially interesting in the frame of the OEL (Operational Exposure Limit) defined by EU Directive (UE) 2017/164. In Europe, employers are due to monitor and to limit the exposure of workers regarding neurotoxic Manganese dust.

Manganese is the 5th most abundant element on earth and is an essential trace element. It is involved in skeleton and cartilage development, immunity, fertility and more. Tested in broilers, ManGrin^® revealed significant higher liver content compared to other sources, a sign of higher bioavailability.

ManGrin^® is a new product which completes the Animine portfolio already comprised of two specialties: Hizox^®, the potentiated zinc oxide and CoRouge^®, the only monovalent copper source allowed for the feed market.
