purified Manganese Manganese is an essential trace mineral with an important role on skeleton and cartilage development and fertility. Manganese is also involved in reproductive performance and, in laying hens, it contributes to the quality of the eggshell. The supply of highly bioavailable source of manganese provides a proper supply of this mineral, ensuring an overall healthy animal, with a longer production lifespan.
