Zinc Oxide 70% Feed

Nutritional Supplement

• Growth Enhancement: 70% zinc oxide is used as a supplement in the diets of pigs and poultry to promote healthy growth. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in numerous biological functions, including protein synthesis and cell division.

• Feed Conversion: It improves feed conversion efficiency, meaning animals can convert ingested food into body weight more efficiently. This is especially important in commercial meat production, where optimizing feed costs is crucial.

Disease Prevention

• Post-Weaning Diarrhea in Piglets: Zinc oxide is widely used to prevent and treat post-weaning diarrhea in piglets. This is a common problem that can severely affect the growth and health of newly weaned piglets. Zinc oxide helps stabilize the intestinal flora and improve digestive health.
