For effective delivery of slow-release compounds, Maxx Performance and partners have found that particle size affects the dissolution rate of compounds, such as minerals and others. For example, as shown in the figure, we achieved the goal of a 75-80% targeted release over 6 hours with particle size 2, which then has more application to animals with simple gastrointestinal tracts (monogastric), while particle size 1 is more suitable for animals with multiple stomachs (polygastric), where digestion takes longer.
