FEED & PREMIX
Zinc oxide is widely used in animal nutrition as a reliable source of zinc in premixes and compound feed formulations. Feed grade zinc oxide supports balanced micronutrient supplementation and consistent performance in livestock production. Feed grade zinc oxide is produced with controlled purity, defined zinc concentration and stable particle characteristics, ensuring accurate dosing and homogeneous incorporation in premix systems and compound feed production. Depending on the region, feed grade zinc oxide must comply with animal nutrition regulations and applicable certification standards. Feed grade zinc oxide is commonly used in livestock feed, premix formulations and animal nutrition supplements.
Key Requirements
Regulatory Compliance & Certifications
Feed grade zinc oxide must comply with animal nutrition regulations and feed safety standards, including applicable certification frameworks such as FAMI-QS, GMP+ or equivalent quality systems.
Consistent ZnO content
Feed grade zinc oxide is available in defined concentrations such as 72% and 75% zinc, ensuring accurate dosing and predictable inclusion rates in premix and compound feed formulations.
Controlled Impurity & Heavy Metal Levels
Strict control of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium ensures safe use in animal nutrition and compliance with international feed regulations.
Homogeneous Blending Behaviour
Optimized particle size distribution ensures uniform dispersion in premix systems, preventing segregation and supporting consistent nutrient distribution in final feed products.
Typical Properties
Feed grade zinc oxide typically contains 72–75% zinc with controlled impurity levels and consistent particle size distribution. It is designed for accurate dosing, safe inclusion and homogeneous blending in premix systems and compound feed formulations.
