The OptiCor's process creates a new category of minerals. Unlike
existing minerals, OptiCor combines uniform particle size with a
breakthrough weatherization process to deliver optimum nutrition and
core element protection. Because if you don't have optimum nutrition
in every bite, you don't have nutrition.
OptiCor minerals provide
uniform mineral and vitamin distribution. Trace minerals are very
small and can blow out of the feeder even with moderate winds. Macro
minerals are typically much larger in size. When these different
particle sizes are mixed together, the smaller ones tend to settle
out.
This
means there is not uniform distribution of the various minerals and
vitamins. Therefore, the animal is not getting all the minerals
needed in every "bite."
With the OptiCor processed minerals, cattle get a uniform "bite" of
all the minerals because the OptiCor process locks the trace
minerals onto the macro minerals to create more uniform mineral and
vitamin distribution. This helps ensure that with each feeding
cattle get all of the different minerals and vitamins they need
which leads to increased rumen microbe activity and optimized animal
performance.
The OptiCor process also provides a unique patented coating to the
minerals and vitamins to protect them from damage due to rain. When
minerals get wet, they start to break down or form a hard "chunk" in
the feeder which makes utilization by the animals extremely
difficult. Many trace minerals are water-soluble, so when they get
wet, they dissolve very quickly and run out of the feeder with the
water. The OptiCor process helps prevent these losses, which means
your cattle get the nutrients they need to optimize animal
performance.
