InorganicOrganicMicromineralsGrowth performanceAn 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the production performance of all male Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed diets supplemented with increasing levels of trace mineral premixes (copper, selenium, zinc, iron, manganese) from inorganic (I...
Minerals are also important for bone health, the regulation of fluid balance, and the transport of substances across the cell membrane. What is the difference between organic and inorganic nutrients in plant? Organic nutrients contain carbon, while inorganic nutrients lack carbon. Plants typically ...
Sometimes people assume that because inorganic molecules don't have carbon in them, they aren't that important to life. That's definitely not the case. Some incredibly important inorganic molecules and compounds include the oxygen you breathe (O2) and the water you drink (H2O). Here's a cha...
Second-parity sows (n = 7) were fed diets containing organic or inorganic trace minerals, and their progeny (n = 68) were used to determine the Fe status of pigs at birth and nursing and postweaning phases. The experiment comprised 2 parts, in which the first experiment was a 2 x 2 ...
Objective: The experiment was conducted to investigate the comparative effects of inorganic trace minerals (ITM) and three forms of organic trace minerals (OTM) (propionate, methochelated, and proteinate) on growth performance, edible meat yield, immunity, and profitability of commercial broilers. Mat...
Inorganic pigments are not based on carbon chains and rings. Instead, they consist of dry ground minerals, usually metals and metallic salts. Because of their composition, inorganic pigments are usually more opaque and more insoluble than organic pigments. In general, inorganic pigments are the most...
(88% lower C/N intensity ratio) at the interface also suggests that the N-rich OM association may co-occur with the accumulation of inorganic N (e.g., electrostatic retention of NH4+). The potential for either competitive or synergistic interactions between organic and inorganic N at reactive...
In the present study, the effects of dietary supplementation of organic and inorganic Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr mixtures using two different levels (80, 60, 5, and 0.15 mg/kg and 40, 30, 2.5, and 0.07 mg/kg, respectively) on the bioavailability of these trace minerals and Ca in late-phase...
Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we describe the mechanisms and processes operating at the mineral–organic interface as they relate to OM transformation dynamics...
and within the Feoxafraction. The total reactive ferrous iron pool is composed of the ferrous iron within the Feaca, FeHCl, and Feoxafraction. Finally, the total iron pool is defined as the sum of all reactive Fe phases and non-reactive (lithogenic) Fe contained in silicate minerals (FeS...
