PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the use of a metal supplement for animals in which the metal will be available to the animal in a more efficient manner, so that lower levels of metal can be administered, less metal will end up in excreta, and eventually, less metal will end up in the environment.SOLUTION: The supplement comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA), a metal complex of GLDA, a sodium salt of GLDA, a potassium salt of GLDA, methylglycine-N,N-diacetic acid (MGDA), a metal complex of MGDA, a sodium salt of MGDA, a potassium salt of MGDA, ethylenediamine N, N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS), a metal complex of EDDS, a sodium salt of EDDS, a potassium salt of EDDS, iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), a metal complex of IDS, a sodium salt of IDS, and a potassium salt of IDS. |
