100% Protected Rumen-Bypass Key Trace Minerals

Included in every formula, Esqort® is Riomax's blend of 100% protected key trace minerals. A combination of copper, manganese, zinc and selenium.

This synergy of multi-bond chelates and crystal trace minerals simply means: The key trace minerals are 100% protected in all of the Riomax® formulas.

Research shows that these sulfates and oxides are more detrimental than we previously realized.  We have always known that they were less ‘available’ and become easily tied-up with antagonists such as iron/sulfur and molybdenum.  Studies have shown, however, that sulfates and oxides negatively affect vitamins in the feed as well as beneficial microbes that are required for fiber digestion.  We see the use of sulfates and oxides in key trace minerals as a triple-negative, and thus rely on the Esqort® Trace Mineral Technology for 100% of the key trace mineral ingredients.

Fast Facts:

  • Synergistic blend of key trace minerals (CU,ZN,MN,SE)
  • Engineered to get through the rumen and into the small intestine (the absorption site)
  • Zero oxides/sulfates on key trace minerals
  • 100% rumen-bypass design

The Cattle Mineral Trial

(Are Riomax® minerals any better than other minerals?)

How does Esqort "fill the bucket?"

Full_Mineral_Bucket

The best way to understand the concept of a calf's mineral levels is to imagine that every calf has a mineral bucket. Everything contributing to its health and performance after it is born needs to be in that bucket. In order for the calf to develop and to stay healthy in the first month's of it's life, it needs to have a full mineral bucket. Hence the developmental success and health of the calf after it's born depends on having a full mineral bucket while it's still in the fetal stage.

Over 70% of the fetus growth happens during the 3rd trimester, and that's why it's paramount to ensure that mama is getting sufficient minerals that she can then pass on to the fetus. Esqort® protected key trace minerals are designed to make it all the way through the rumen, into the small intestine, and ultimately into the bloodstream. Then it makes it's way to the fetus, in order to provide minerals that are critically needed for performance and growth...and filling up that bucket.

Because Esqort® contains 100% protected trace minerals like copper, zinc, manganese, and selenium, those minerals have the very highest chance of making it to the calf's mineral bucket. It's essential for calves to be born with a full 'bucket', because once they are born, they get very few vitamins and minerals through mama's milk. A sufficient mineral reserve allows calves to stay healthy, grow, and start their life off right.
