Zinc Amino Acid Complex - Feed Ingredient

Zinc amino acid complex is an organic trace mineral supplement in which zinc is chelated (bound) to amino acids, improving its bioavailability compared to inorganic forms like zinc oxide or zinc sulfate. This enhanced absorption allows for more efficient utilization in the horse’s body.

In equine nutrition, zinc is essential for immune function, skin and hoof health, wound healing, and enzyme activity involved in metabolism. It also plays a crucial role in coat quality and overall cellular function. Zinc amino acid complex is often included in fortified feeds and supplements to support optimal zinc absorption, particularly in performance horses, growing foals, and those with high nutritional demands. Proper balance with copper is important, as excessive zinc intake can interfere with copper absorption, leading to deficiencies.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Zinc Amino Acid Complex as an ingredient.
