Zinc Methionine Complex - Feed Ingredient

Zinc methionine complex is a chelated form of zinc in which zinc is bound to the amino acid methionine. This organic zinc source is designed to enhance bioavailability and absorption compared to inorganic zinc sources, such as zinc oxide or zinc sulfate. Chelation with methionine improves zinc’s stability and uptake in the digestive tract.

In equine nutrition, zinc methionine complex is included in feed formulations and supplements to support enzyme function, immune response, and skin and hoof health. Zinc is essential for protein metabolism, wound healing, and keratin formation, which is critical for hoof integrity. The complexed form ensures efficient absorption, making it a preferred choice in mineral supplements for horses.

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