Abstract: A method of enhancing a mineral level in an animal with reduced environmental impact can comprise orally administering a metal amino acid chelate to an animal, wherein the amino acid to metal molar ratio of the metal amino acid chelate is from about 1:1 to 4:1. The metal can contribute to a mineral level within the blood and tissues of the animal that is effective for stimulating growth of the animal to a greater degree than would be realized by administering the same amount of metal in the form of an inorganic metal salt. Additionally, the amount of the metal excreted in the feces of the animal can be less than would be present when administering the same amount of metal in the form of the inorganic metal salt. The metal amino acid chelate can also serve as a source highly bioavailable amino acids, so that the excretion of nitrates by the animal may be reduced while still promoting efficient growth.
