Manganese Hydroxychloride–Basic Manganese Chloride TBMC

Manganese is a component of arginase, prolidase, oxygen-containing superoxide dismutase, pyruvate carboxylase, and other enzymes, and also functions as an activator for numerous enzymes in the body. Manganese deficiency in animals leads to decreased feed intake, slowed growth, reduced feed conversion efficiency, skeletal abnormalities, and reproductive dysfunction. Traditional inorganic manganese sources such as manganese sulfate and manganese oxide exhibit low bioavailability. Basic manganese chloride offers advantages including structural stability, minimal degradation of other nutrients in feed, and high bioavailability in animals; its cost is lower than that of organic manganese sources, and its bioavailability is higher than that of inorganic manganese. It can replace traditional manganese sources in feed applications.

Product Features

1. Structural Stability: As a hydroxychloride, Mn2+ is covalently bonded to hydroxyl groups, making it resistant to dissociation and effectively protecting nutrients within the feed.

2.High Bioavailability

Animals exhibit higher bioavailability for basic manganese chloride, allowing for lower dosages with enhanced growth performance.

3. Low Emissions, Safe and Environmentally Friendly

Product applications

1. Laying Hens

Adding Basic manganese chloride to the diet of laying hens can effectively improve laying performance, alter serum biochemical parameters, increase mineral deposition in eggs, and enhance egg quality.

2. Broilers

Manganese is a key trace element for broiler growth and development. Incorporation of Basic manganese chloride into broiler feed significantly enhances antioxidant capacity, bone quality, and manganese deposition, thereby improving meat quality.

3. Pigs

Studies have demonstrated that during the finishing phase, providing manganese in the form of Basic manganese chloride leads to superior growth performance compared to manganese sulfate, with significant increases in body weight, average daily gain, and daily feed intake.

4. Ruminants

During adaptation of ruminants to high-starch diets, substituting copper, manganese, and zinc sulfates with their hydroxy forms—Basic copper, manganese, and zinc chlorides (Cu: 6.92 mg/kg; Mn: 62.3 mg/kg; Zn: 35.77 mg/kg)—can modulate beef cattle growth performance, plasma inflammation markers, and energy metabolism indices, thereby enhancing health under high-concentrate feeding conditions.
