Zinc plays a vital role in the bodies of humans and animals, serving crucial functions in bone development, immunity, gene expression, and reproduction. For example, zinc participates in the metabolism of essential nutrients for animal growth, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and amino acids. Zinc deficiency in animals can lead to stunted growth, decreased appetite, rough coat, reduced reproductive performance, and weakened immunity. Furthermore, animals do not absorb ordinary zinc optimally, and some unabsorbed zinc is excreted in feces, polluting the surrounding environment. Therefore, to meet the zinc requirements for animal growth and development, an active zinc oxide feed grade is added to the feed to replace ordinary zinc.
Active zinc oxide feed grade has a high specific surface area and a high surface atomic ratio, which significantly enhances its contact efficiency with intestinal tissue. Its particle size distribution allows it to bypass the traditional ion exchange process and directly penetrate the intestinal mucosal barrier, resulting in higher bioavailability and absorption efficiency. Active zinc oxide feed grade also possesses high chemical activity, which can disrupt the protein synthesis system of microorganisms through oxidation, inhibiting pathogens.
Adding active zinc oxide feed grade to feed offers numerous benefits to animals. First, it promotes animal growth. Active zinc oxide feed grade enhances animals’ ability to digest and absorb feed, improves nutrient absorption, and increases feed utilization, thereby promoting animal growth and development and shortening the growth cycle. Second, active zinc oxide feed grade improves animal immune function. It increases the proliferation and activity of immune cells and promotes the production of immune-related factors, thus enhancing the body’s immunity. Active zinc oxide feed grade can also stimulate immune cells to secrete more pro-inflammatory factors, thereby strengthening immunity and preventing certain diseases. Finally, active zinc oxide feed grade regulates intestinal health. The balance of the intestinal microbiota depends on it; active zinc oxide feed grade promotes the reproduction of beneficial bacteria and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Simultaneously, active zinc oxide feed grade can enhance the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier and improve the absorption rate of food.
Activated zinc oxide feed grade is commonly used in piglet farming. Piglets (especially weaned piglets) have underdeveloped intestines and low immunity, making them prone to diarrhea and stunted growth. Activated zinc oxide feed grade promotes growth and development, combats weaned piglet diarrhea, improves intestinal barrier function, and enhances the gut microbiota. Weaned piglets often experience diarrhea due to weaning stress; activated zinc oxide feed grade significantly reduces the diarrhea rate, increases daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio, and improves piglet mental state and coat quality. For poultry such as chicks, ducklings, laying hens, and broilers, activated zinc oxide feed grade can supplement zinc nutrition, enhance poultry immunity, reduce intestinal diseases, improve eggshell quality (laying hens), and promote broiler growth. Activated zinc oxide feed grade is also suitable for ruminants such as beef cattle, dairy cattle, and sheep, supplementing zinc nutrition, promoting ruminant growth and development, increasing milk production, and improving beef quality.
In summary, active zinc oxide feed grade has excellent application effects in animal husbandry.
