We are pleased and excited to announce the addition of the Blueprint® product line to our offerings. The Blueprint nutritional program is based on the simple premise that the sources of trace minerals are as important (or even more so!) than the actual levels. Blueprint products all boast the total replacement of inorganic trace minerals with highly bioavailable Bioplex® organic trace minerals.
As our knowledge of the nutritional need for trace minerals in animal diets has grown over the decades, so has our understanding of negative biochemical interactions in the body due to antagonists. Traditionally, we have increased fortification levels in a never ending attempt to overcome antagonisms, all the while creating new problems with increased excretion of minerals in manure and urine that can potentially pollute soil and water.
With Blueprint LESS IS MORE! The Blueprint nutritional program is designed to deliver needed mineral supplementation, but in a more efficient, targeted manner. Bioplex organic trace minerals are better absorbed, stored and utilized by the animal than inorganic mineral sources. Thus, Blueprint nutritional products actually deliver MORE efficient targeted nutrition to animals in a LESS concentrated formula. Good for the animal, good for the consumer and good for the environment!
