"Trace minerals are like the key to your car or your
truck. They're not a very big part of it, but it's very
difficult to make your car go without the key."
Dana Tomlinson, Ph.D., Zinpro Performance Minerals
Additionally, older animals have a reduced absorption
efficiency, so it's important that trace mineral sources
used in senior diets are readily available.
Kirn explains this with an analogy, saying, "If you
put diesel fuel into a Porsche, it's going to run, but
not for long. You have to match the fuel types the
nutrients to the particular animal and their demand."
Having bioavailable supplies of zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, iodine and iron can help older animals
manage the challenges, such as oxidative, environmental
or physiological stress, that accompany old age.
There are also life-stage discrepancies in vitamin supplementation for companion animal diets. For example,
puppies and kittens need increased levels of vitamin D
in their diet to aid in calcium and phosphorus absorption during early development. In senior pets, increased
levels of vitamins E and C can have antioxidant benefits
and help maintain cognitive function, Clark says. Faber
adds that vitamins E and C, as well as the trace mineral
selenium, can be supplemented to support immune system development in puppy diets.
Formulating with care
Careful consideration and a thorough understanding of
vitamin and nutrient matrices in companion animals are
needed to formulate a completely balanced product and
avoid deficiencies or toxicities.
As in many cases, consulting with experts is a good
way for pet food processors to make sure they are utilizing the most bioavailable forms, sources and correct
ratios of vitamins and minerals to guarantee proper pet
nutrition down to a microscopic level.
