Zinc is a micromineral found in all body tissues and is part of, or activates, over 200 enzymes. A lot of zinc is found in the skin and coat where zinc is needed for regeneration. Zinc is present in high concentrations in the eye's iris and is necessary for the immune system to function optimally. Zinc is involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism. The body's need for zinc increases in pregnant and lactating mares as well as during hard work. Zinc deficiency has been shown to cause hoof damage, hair loss, and skin problems on the legs and head. The risk of overdosing zinc in horses is small, but excess can inhibit copper absorption.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONZinc supplement with very good bioavailability for horses.
APPLICATION AREAWhen the feed does not contain enough zinc to meet the horse's needs.
COMPOSITIONZinc chelate, zinc sulfate, inulin, diatomaceous earth
DOSAGE1 scoop daily, mix well in the concentrate feed 1 scoop = 11 g provides 750 mg zinc
