FEED & PREMIX
Zinc oxide is widely used as a source of zinc in animal nutrition, premixes and compound feed formulations. It supports balanced micronutrient supplementation and consistent nutritional performance in livestock production. Controlled purity, defined zinc concentration and stable particle characteristics ensure reliable incorporation into premix systems and compound feed production across international markets.
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. animal nutrition products.
Consistent ZnO content
Defined zinc concentration (e.g. 72%, 75% or 80% Zn) ensures accurate dosing and predictable inclusion rates in premix and compound feed formulations.
Controlled Impurity & Heavy Metal Levels
Strict limits on lead, cadmium and other trace metals are required to ensure animal safety and compliance with international feed regulations.
Homogeneous Blending Behaviour
Appropriate particle size distribution supports uniform dispersion in premix systems, preventing segregation and ensuring consistent nutrient distribution in finished feed.
Typical Properties
Feed-grade zinc oxide typically contains 72–80% Zn concentration, with controlled heavy metal levels and defined particle characteristics to support safe, homogeneous incorporation into premix and compound feed formulations.
