Effect of Zinc Oxide application in feed additive

Zinc is a component of more than 40 metal enzymes in animals, an activating factor of more than 200 enzymes, and participates in nucleic acid and protein composition, energy metabolism, oxidation reduction, cellular immunity and humoral immunity. It is reported that zinc oxide has the effect of promoting the rapid regeneration of taste bud cells in the tongue mucosa and enhancing oral function. Because the use of antibiotics is increasingly restricted, although zinc salts have low absorption and utilization rates, they have excellent antibacterial and antibacterial effects, so they form zinc in production. The professor said: Zinc oxide plays a great role in preventing diarrhea in weaned piglets. Feed manufacturers often add a lot of high zinc to the daily diet of weaned piglets to prevent diarrhea in piglets. The amount of increase has exceeded the normal requirement of animals by more than 20 times, or even higher. Therefore, manufacturers usually increase the amount of copper and iron to 160 to 250 grams per kilogram. Too much minerals in feed will inevitably lead to a series of problems such as decreased stability of vitamins and decreased potency of other nutrients. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of feed formula planning, affects feed quality, and increases feed costs.
