Abstract

"PROCESSO PARA FABRICAçãO DE UMA COMPOSIçãO PARA SUPLEMENTAR ANIMAIS COM SOLUçõES DE COMPLEXOS DE AMINO áCIDOS E METAIS ESSENCIAIS". Processo para preparação de soluções líquidas, estáveis de complexos de elementos traço e complexos de amino ácidos de L-lisina, glicina, leucina e serina. Os complexos resultantes são utilizados para suplementar nutricionalmente os animais domésticos. Já que as soluções são estáveis, elas podem ser utilizadas derramando dentro da boca do animal ou na água potável.
