Feed-grade zinc oxide for Animal Health

Z-TRACE™ for animal health and nutrition.

ZOA’s Z-TRACE™ is our feed-grade, free flowing zinc oxide powder on par with our high purity zinc oxide – free flowing, relatively dust free, and specifically engineered for livestock feed.

Zinc is considered an essential trace element in all living organisms as even in small quantities, it strengthens immunity as well as the function of more than 300 enzymes and hormones. Zinc aids enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis, and cannot be substituted by other elements.

The earth is naturally abundant in zinc. However, its intrinsic availability and nutritional value has depleted due to climate change, soil composition, or vegetative composition of the pasture. This has subsequently caused an imbalance between mineral supply and demand. That is why farmers add traces of zinc oxide to stock feed premixes and blends to treat zinc deficiency and improve or maintain their feed conversion rates.

Zinc deficiency in animals:

  • Goats: Goats with zinc deficiency may suffer from joint stiffness, flaky skin, excessive salivation, low libido, swollen feet, small testes, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
  • Cows: Cows with a zinc deficiency will have crusty proliferations, cracked skin and hair loss on the muzzle, vulva, anus, tail, head, neck, ears, backs of the hind legs, knee folds and flank.
  • Chickens: zinc deficiency in growing chicks causes a stunt in growth, shortened/thickened long bones, enlarged hock joints and poor feather development.
  • Pigs: Zinc deficiency in pigs is obvious through reduced growth rates, poor appetite and a skin thickening condition called parakeratosis.

Z-TRACE™ can help treat zinc deficiency in livestock to improve overall growth, strengthen appetite and boost feed conversion rates. To ensure your stock feed product is of the highest purity and quality, contact the ZOA team about Z-TRACE™ today.
