Abstract:

Amino acid-microelement chelates, the third generation of trace element supplement, with multiple biological
functions such as high bioavailability, good biochemical stability, strong disease resistance, less environmental pollution
and fast absorption, have broad prospects. This paper reviews the nutritional and physiological functions and application in
animal breeding of amino acid-microelement chelates, methods for evaluating their bioavailability and its influencing factors.

Key words: chelate, trace element, bioavailability
