IntelliOptTM

Precision Mineral Nutrition

IntelliOptTM Broiler
Trace minerals are essential, especially for high performing animals.
They are involved in a wide variety of vital functions and processes
within the animal’s body, supporting your animals’ health, performance
and well-being. To ensure that your animals are getting the optimal level
of essential trace mineral, IntelliOpt has been developed, targeting the
precise level of trace mineral requirement based on specific species
and stage of production.

Your benefits with the strength of synergy

What makes IntelliOpt unique is the combination of IntelliBond (hydroxy)
and Optimin (organic) trace mineral sources in one convenient blend.
IntelliOpt brings broiler producers convenience, supplying the full trace
mineral requirement in one bag. More importantly, IntelliOpt Broiler can
improve flock production efficiency due to superior bioavailbility.
 The next generation of trace mineral solutions combining
IntelliOpt science, technology and convenience. IntelliOpt can
