Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate (Feed Grade) — Typical Inclusion Guidance
Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate (Feed Grade) is typically incorporated into animal feed or mineral premixes as a source of supplemental zinc. The appropriate inclusion level depends on animal species, age, production stage, basal diet, and local feed regulations.
Typical Supplemental Zinc Levels (elemental Zn)
| Animal / Application | Typical Supplemental Zinc Level* |
|---|---|
| Poultry | 50–120 mg Zn/kg complete feed |
| Swine | 50–120 mg Zn/kg complete feed |
| Dairy Cattle | 30–80 mg Zn/kg complete feed |
| Beef Cattle | 30–80 mg Zn/kg complete feed |
| Other Livestock | Adjust according to nutritional requirements |
*Levels are expressed as elemental zinc (Zn) in the complete feed, rather than Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate product weight.
Example: Product Containing 35% Zn
- 50 mg Zn/kg feed ≈ 143 mg product/kg feed
- 80 mg Zn/kg feed ≈ 229 mg product/kg feed
- 100 mg Zn/kg feed ≈ 286 mg product/kg feed
- 120 mg Zn/kg feed ≈ 343 mg product/kg feed
The actual inclusion rate should be calculated based on the zinc contribution from all feed ingredients and premixes, and must comply with the applicable maximum zinc levels in the destination market.
