A micronutrient supplement which is made by reacting a metal oxide, or metal hydroxide, or metal carbonate of an essential mineral and an acid and/or a metal salt of an essential mineral containing a digestible binder to form a slurry of micronutrient crystals and a digestible binder and forming agglomerated particles of the micronutrient crystals from the slurry. The agglomerated particles provide a non-dusting, free-flowing micronutrient supplement that can be produced with desired particle sizes and densities so as to be easily mixed with a variety of feed mixtures. The digestible binder in the agglomerated particles reduces the opportunity for interactions between the micronutrient crystals and other ingredients that can be present in complex feed mixtures while allowing release of the micronutrients in an animal’s digestive system.一種微量營養素補充劑，其製造係經由使必需礦物質之金屬氧化物、或金屬氫氧化物、或金屬碳酸鹽與酸及/或含有可消化黏結劑之必需礦物質之金屬鹽反應而形成微量營養素晶體及可消化黏結劑之漿料，且從該漿料形成微量營養素晶體之黏聚粒。該黏聚粒提供無粉塵、自由流動的微量營養素補充劑，係可生產有所需粒徑及密度而容易與多種飼料混合物混合之微量營養素補充劑。黏聚粒中之可消化黏結劑降低微量營養素晶體與可能存在於複合飼料混合物中之其他成分之交互作用機會，同時使微量營養素釋放至動物消化系統。
