Zinc Oxide - Feed Ingredient

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound used in animal feed as a source of zinc, an essential trace mineral. It is a stable and widely available form of zinc, though it has lower bioavailability compared to organic sources like zinc proteinate.

In equine nutrition, zinc supports immune function, hoof and skin health, and enzyme activity involved in metabolism. It plays a crucial role in tissue repair and antioxidant defense. While zinc oxide is commonly used in mineral supplements, excessive zinc intake can interfere with copper absorption, leading to imbalances. Proper dietary formulation ensures an appropriate zinc-to-copper ratio to maintain overall health.

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