    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_box

    Clumping litter for cats has also been produced from materials other than clay. The New York-based New York Stock Exchange-listed company Minerals Technologies offers a clumping cat litter in the form of crystals made of "compacted baking soda", [26] which in contrast to bentonite is either dust-free [26] or low-dust, [27] and allegedly "100% ...

  3. Chelates in animal nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelates_in_animal_nutrition

    Animals are thought to better absorb, digest, and use mineral chelates than inorganic minerals or simple salts. [1] In theory lower concentrations of these minerals can be used in animal feeds. In addition, animals fed chelated sources of essential trace minerals excrete lower amounts in their faeces, and so there is less environmental ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_lick

    Many animals regularly visit mineral licks to consume clay, supplementing their diet with nutrients and minerals. In tropical bats, lick visitation is associated with a diet based on wild figs (), which have very low levels of sodium, [3] [4] and licks are mostly used by females that are pregnant or lactating.

  8. Animal source foods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_source_foods

    A 2023 review found that substituting animal-source with plant-based foods is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. [16] A 2024 review found that plant-based meat alternatives have the potential to be healthier than animal-source foods and have smaller environmental footprints. [17]

  9. Mineral (nutrient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_(nutrient)

    Plants obtain minerals from soil. [8] Animals ingest plants, thus moving minerals up the food chain. Larger organisms may also consume soil (geophagia) or use mineral resources such as salt licks to obtain minerals. Finally, although mineral and elements are in many ways synonymous, minerals are only bioavailable to the extent that they can be ...
