Zinc Citrate - Feed Ingredient

Zinc Citrate is a zinc salt formed by the neutralization of citric acid with a zinc compound, commonly zinc oxide. It is incorporated into equine feed formulations as a source of dietary zinc, an essential trace mineral required for various metabolic and enzymatic processes.

The compound is noted for its solubility properties and is designed to provide a bioavailable form of zinc that supports physiological functions such as enzyme activity, immune response, and overall cellular metabolism. When included in feed, usage levels are typically guided by established nutritional standards to ensure that the zinc supply meets the dietary needs of horses without causing imbalances with other trace minerals.
