As production cost is continuously increasing in poultry day by day and margins are squeezing gradually. Feed cost is 70% of total cost of production. Due to this reason nutritionists always search ways to formulate feed with least cost. Most efficient way to achieve highest production performance is with least cost formulation. Flock performance and health status improved through optimum nutrition, best management and genetics.  

The trace minerals of primary concern in poultry which includes Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Selenium (Se) and Iodine (I). The trace minerals are very often supplemented either in the premix or separate from the premix formulation. Trace mineral premixes should be formulated and supplemented to poultry feeds separate from the vitamin premix due to potential vitamin oxidation by the trace minerals. Inclusion levels are often very small, ranging from 0.05 to 0.50 percent which means that weighing (scales) needs to be quite accurate and mixing needs to be thorough for the trace mineral premix to be adequately distributed in a batch of poultry feed.

One strategy that can immediately increase efficiency regardless of species is to exchange the mineral source currently being fed with chelated organic trace minerals like zinc, copper and manganese in the form of metal amino acid complex. This technology enables birds to receive optimum mineral nutrition. Inclusion of OTM results in lower costs, improved animal health, fewer condemnations and greater profitability, combined with reduced environmental impact.

Organic trace minerals play a crucial role in absorption of nutrients in the gut and enhance the bioavailability. Iron, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, and selenium are the common organically bound trace minerals. The main function of zinc and copper is to improve health and performance. Organic manganese is important for the enhancement of growth, bone development, and fertility of animals.

WHY TO CHOOSE ORGANIC TRACE MINERALS (OTM)

Organic trace minerals are more bioavailable to birds/animal so its lower inclusions are enough to meet the mineral requirements which will ultimately recover the mineral deficiencies; which if not removed can result in poor performance and profitability. The immune function of all poultry species depends on trace minerals. Additionally, trace minerals support healthy tissue development. Deficiencies in any of these minerals can result in reduced performance, leg breakage as birds grow, skin tearing, gait problems and lesions that decrease the marketability of chicken paws.

Zinpro Performance Minerals®; Not all Trace Minerals are Created Equal

When it comes to poultry, our top priority is ensuring safe, high-quality meat and eggs that allow the industry to meet its needs on the farm, at the processing plant, and on the shelf. To achieve this, making the right choice in mineral nutrition is critically important. With Zinpro performance solutions, your animals are able to reach their full potential and optimal productivity.

ZINPRO^® (zinc methionine complex) is a nutritional feed ingredient for animals that contains organic zinc. The trace mineral zinc is required by animals for numerous functions, including: immunity, reproduction, skin and hoof integrity, muscle development, milk production and eggshell quality. In addition, when an animal/bird has the proper balance of organic trace minerals it is better able to cope with the challenging effects of stress.

ZINPRO, from Zinpro Performance Minerals^®, is built on a unique, patented molecule that consists of one metal ion bound to one amino acid ion – called a metal specific amino acid complex. Zinpro Performance Minerals provide the highest biological efficacy of any trace mineral products on the market, which means more of the minerals are absorbed by the animal to deliver their full benefit. For more than 50 years, Zinpro Performance Minerals have delivered positive animal performance responses and a strong return on investment in operations around the world.

Availa products of Zinpro are manufactured using our patented “amino acid extraction process” that breaks down a pure source of protein into free amino acids. The free amino acids are then complexed to the trace mineral. The result product is the most readily available form of organic trace minerals and a strong return on investment for both poultry and Dairy.

PROVING ZINPRO MINERAL PERFORMANCE WITH THE 5-RS

When put to the test, Zinpro Performance Minerals® rise above all other minerals on the market. Our numerous patents have been proven time and again to perform in all types of animal production by meeting the 5-Rs essential criteria for performance minerals.
