Zinc Oxide Feed Grade
CAS Number: 1314-13-2
Featured inZinc Oxide Grades
Zinc Oxide Feed Grade is the primary inorganic zinc source used in animal nutrition for immune function, skin and hoof integrity, enzyme activation, and reproductive performance. Therapeutic levels of ZnO have historically been used to prevent post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets, though current EU regulations restrict high-dose usage due to environmental concerns. Our product is available in standard and micronised forms for different bioavailability requirements.
