Zinc Oxide for Animal Nutrition

High purity feed grade Zinc Oxide for optimal animal health and performance

The Essential Role of Zinc in Animal Nutrition

Zinc is a critical micronutrient required for numerous biological functions in animals. Our feed grade Zinc Oxide provides a highly bioavailable source of this essential mineral.

Key Benefits in Animal Feed:

  • Growth Promotion: Essential for protein synthesis and cell division
  • Immune Function: Strengthens disease resistance
  • Reproductive Health: Improves fertility and conception rates
  • Hoof/Skin Integrity: Maintains epithelial tissue health
  • Antioxidant Protection: Part of superoxide dismutase enzyme
  • Gut Health: Reduces diarrhea in young animals
