FAQ
Q: What is manganese oxide used for in animal feed?
Manganese oxide is widely used as a trace mineral supplement in animal feed premixes. It provides essential manganese for livestock and poultry nutrition. Manganese supports several biological functions including bone development, enzyme activation, metabolism, and reproductive performance.
Feed-grade manganese oxide is commonly used in:
Poultry feed (broilers and layers)
Pig feed premixes
Cattle and dairy nutrition
Ruminant mineral supplements
High-quality MnO products ensure stable mineral supply and safe heavy metal levels.
Q: What manganese content do feed grade manganese oxide products contain?
Feed grade manganese oxide typically contains 60% to 62% MnO. This concentration provides an efficient manganese source for animal nutrition formulations.
In addition to manganese content, high-quality feed manganese oxide must meet strict specifications, including:
| Parameter | Typical Requirement |
|---|---|
| MnO Content | 60–62 % |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤10 ppm |
