Sensitive issue: Trace elements in broiler nutrition
The use of organic versus inorganic trace elements in poultry nutrition is a bit of a conundrum and underscores a pivotal challenge in farming and animal care.

Switching to organic trace elements is an important step towards improving performance, quality and sustainability in poultry production.
