| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This research was conducted to determine vitamin
and mineral content in commercial premixes and trace
minerals and heavy metals content of trace mineral sources
which are used in premixes.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Research was carried out as two
experiments. Ten pieces of poultry and ruminant premixes
were collected and vitamin, mineral and heavy metal analyses
were done in experiment 1. Raw materials of trace mineral
sources as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and manganese
(Mn) were collected from 6 companies and trace
mineral and heavy metals as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) analyses
were done in experiment 2.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Vitamin and mineral values of poultry and ruminant
premixes was lower than declared values in experiment
1. There were no heavy metals in trace mineral sources
in experiment 2.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Differences between declared values of vitamins
and result of analysis should be depending on storage
and inorganic trace minerals effects. |
