Zinc Sulfate - Feed Ingredient

Zinc Sulfate is an inorganic salt commonly used in equine feed formulations as a source of the essential trace mineral zinc. Zinc plays a critical role in enzyme function, immune response, and the maintenance of skin, hoof, and reproductive health. Due to its high solubility in water, zinc sulfate facilitates the delivery of zinc into the diet, helping to support various metabolic and physiological processes in horses.

While zinc sulfate is effective in supplying zinc, organic forms of zinc—such as zinc chelates or zinc proteinate—are generally considered higher quality due to their superior bioavailability and absorption rates. In equine nutrition, selecting a zinc supplement with enhanced bioavailability may lead to improved mineral utilization and overall health benefits.

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