Petfood trace elements #831

Open aleene opened 7 years ago

What

I found an ingredient list, where the original molecules of traces are also listed.
It would be nice if these could be added to the nutrients somehow. Part of the hierarchy?
Is it possible to the calculations from molecule to trace and viceversa?

What is the real story here ? Why are they putting this information ? There must be something fishy.

Most dietary minerals are added as compounds. So it is nice to know which compounds to use. The question is more why is it not noted as such in human food. I assume they use the same compound for each mineral, but that is something OPFF can check.

And I noticed that the animal foods I added have all additives. Guess the animal food is not a very complete meal.

This can be added to the nutriments taxonomy.
