Abstract

This review aimed to show the main differences in the metabolism and bioavailability of inorganic and organic minerals for broilers, and these influences on performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality. The organic minerals present high bioavailability and are more readily absorbed by animals that inorganic minerals, thus less amounts of minerals to be excreted in the environment, some of these with high polluting power, both for soil and for the water. Organic minerals can also beneficially affect the performance of broilers without affecting carcass characteristics and meat quality.
