The invention relates to the field of the chemical industry, in particular to a method for preparing N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates. The method is environmentally friendly and low in cost. According to the method, saponification liquid produced in the production process of D,L-methionine serves as production raw materials and reacts with trace metal element calcium salt to obtain D,L-methionine microelement chelates, the obtained D,L-methionine microelement chelates react with formaldehyde in a water medium, filtering, washing in cold water, drying and crushing are carried out after the reaction, and the powdered N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates are obtained. According to the method, high-purity D,L-methionine is needless, the N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates are directly prepared through the saponification liquid, and production cost is reduced. According to the method, the high-purity N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates are prepared, stability is high, animals can easily digest and absorb the N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates, the N-methylol group-D,L-calcium methionine microelement chelates can serve as feed additions, obtained filter liquor can be recycled, and the method is environmentally friendly.
