Zinc Hydroxychloride - Feed Ingredient
Zinc hydroxychloride is an inorganic source of zinc used in equine nutrition to support enzyme function, immune health, and hoof integrity. While still an inorganic form, it is considered to be a more bioavailable and stable form of zinc, offering improved absorption compared to traditional zinc oxide or zinc sulfate.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for skin health, coat quality, and metabolic function.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Zinc Hydroxychloride as an ingredient.
