Trace element

... diseases are found in the soil, and only when the conditions are right in the soil do those diseases come out.

That's just the way Mother Nature made it, you see? So it always has to do with trace minerals, and of course, has a lot to do with, um, how the plants assimilate.

'Cause you may have s- tons of trace minerals on your property or tons of trace minerals in your compost, but if you don't have the bacteria there to properly break it down to the plant, the plants are not gonna get it, and especially if the plants themselves don't have the, the roots, functioning root systems to do that.

So that's-

Yeah

Uh, they're, you, you know, so lots of different types of diseases for many different reasons.

Uh, it all comes down to the ve- But due to my s- uh, knowledge of it, I, I, I believe, and I go, "I can tell you this from experience doing the same thing over and over again, it's a trace mineral deficiency." It usually comes down to some of these specific really, really...

It says 96 trace minerals.

But using the phytase can largely reduce the trace minerals because they will improve the retention or bioavailability of the natural trace minerals.

Therefore, that can reduce, largely reduce the additional inclusion of trace minerals.

So this is another very big aspect.

So once you apply the phytase in the correct way, you can largely reduce the inclusion of trace minerals, let's say by 15%.

Welcome to the Swine It podcast, Dr. Liu.

Thank you, Tara.

It happens all the time.

To round out this biochemical landscape, we need to examine the trace minerals.

These are required in tiny amounts, but their systemic impact is massive.

Let's look at zinc, magnesium, and selenium.

And the history of total parenteral nutrition taught us a brutal lesson about selenium, didn't it?

It really did.

If we connect this to the bigger picture, in the early days of TPN, before we fully understood trace minerals, selenium was not included in the IV formulations.

What happened? Patients surviving on TPN began developing fatal cardiomyopathies.
