FAQ
What is Protein Zinc Feed Grade, and how does it benefit livestock?
Protein Zinc Feed
Grade is a specialized feed additive designed to deliver essential zinc in a bioavailable
form along with amino acids, enhancing the overall nutritional intake of livestock. Zinc is
a critical trace mineral required for various biological processes, including enzyme
function, immune response, and protein synthesis. Inadequate zinc levels can lead to poor
growth performance, compromised immune function, and lower feed efficiency in livestock, all
of which can affect the overall profitability and health of the herd or flock.
When
provided in a bioavailable form, such as offered by Protein Zinc Feed Grade, zinc is more
readily absorbed and utilized by the animal's body. This enhanced absorption ensures that
the zinc is effectively integrated into metabolic processes. The inclusion of protein in the
formulation supports muscle development and overall growth, making it particularly
beneficial for young, growing animals as well as lactating and breeding stock that have
higher nutritional demands.
Additionally, Protein Zinc Feed Grade can help improve
hoof and skin health, reducing incidences of conditions like lameness or dermatitis that can
contribute to secondary infections or require medical intervention. This dual-action of
providing both zinc and protein can promote better growth rates, improved weight gain, and
overall improved farm efficiency, leading to an increase in productivity and potentially
lowering the overall cost of production by reducing veterinary expenses and enhancing feed
conversion ratios.
