MagnesiumOxide Acquaintance

Minerals are formed a small part of animals feed rations, but their existence is vital. Minerals have an important role in body growth of animals and they take part in vital activities of other organs.

One of these minerals is magnesium which has a close connection with calcium and phosphorus. About 70% of whole body magnesium is distributed in bones,other soft tissues and body fluids.

Magnesium is a metal from the family of basic-soiled metals which has constructive role in cartilages ,bones and teeth. Magnesium in combination with oxygen(MgO) is categorized as mineral supplements for livestocks , poultries and aquatic creatures. It has an international registeration number of 756-02-16 with its own features, which is mentioned in this standard.

Magnesium is the most common activator for some of enzymes and is effective as a catalyst in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. This element also takes part in regulation of some enzymes activities.

Why do we use Magnesium Oxide

Reduction of magnesium density in animal diet and its reduction in their blood results in Tetanic muscle and it also causes the reduction of biological availability of other nutrient and finally causes growth reduction. If there is lack of magnesium, some disorders will be appeared, so by adding dense ions of magnesium in animals feed rations,we can heal these disease well.The most common disease in mature cattles is Grass Tetany.

Magnesium has different compounds like magnesium oxide, magnesium solfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium acetate and magnesium carbonite which can be added to the mineral supplement used in livestocks, poultries and aquatic creatures feed or they can be used in Concentration form in mineral (licking) blocks.

Characteristics of magnesium oxide

This mineral supplement has different characteristics which are mentioned below:

It keeps the PH of Rumen between 6.2 to 6.8 and prevents its severe fluctuation.
It prevents milk fever in newly delivered cows.
It improves the activity of tripe microorganisms.
It increases milk fat.
It improves starch digestion ( and it reduces the amount of indigested corn in their Feces).
It increases the efficiency of energy usage and it produces microbial protein in their tripe .
It decreases the problems caused by sudden changes in feed ration.
It reduces the harmful effects of tripe acidosis on liver so it results in better nutrient metabolism.
It has gradual and continuous effects (in compare with sudden and short term effects of sodium bicarbonate ).
It stops Grass Tetany (which is caused by lack of magnesium).
It compensates lack of magnesium in feed ration(This lack is created by using Nitrate and Potasium fertilizers in farms where feed is planted).
It does not affect the amount of used concentrate (in compare with the reductive effects of Sodium bicarbonate on used feed).
In compare with ejected sodium out of Sodium bicarbonate , it does not pollute the environment.
