📌 Detailed Introduction of Zinc Sulfate Feed Grade

✔ What is Zinc Sulfate Feed Grade?

Zinc sulfate (ZnSO₄) is a widely used feed additive that provides essential zinc, a vital trace mineral required for metabolism, growth, immune response, and enzyme function in animals. Zinc plays a crucial role in:

Enzyme activation – Supports over 300 enzymatic reactions
Immune system enhancement – Strengthens disease resistance
Growth and reproduction – Promotes proper skeletal development and fertility
Skin, hair, and hoof health – Prevents skin disorders, alopecia, and foot rot

Forms Available:

  • Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate (ZnSO₄·H₂O) – High zinc concentration (≥ 35%)

  • Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate (ZnSO₄·7H₂O) – Hydrated form with easy solubility


📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials Used:

  • Zinc Ore or Zinc Ash – Main zinc source

  • Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) – Used for zinc extraction

  • Purified Water – For dissolution and crystallization

✔ Production Process:

  1. Zinc Extraction – High-purity zinc ore or zinc ash reacts with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate solution.

  2. Filtration & Purification – Impurities are removed to ensure feed-grade purity.

  3. Crystallization & Drying:

    • Monohydrate: Controlled crystallization to achieve higher zinc content.

    • Heptahydrate: Formed through lower-temperature crystallization, resulting in higher solubility.

  4. Granulation & Packaging – Final product is granulated and packed for easy feed formulation.


📌 Applications of Zinc Sulfate in Animal Feed

✔ Poultry (Broilers, Layers, Turkeys, Ducks)

  • Enhances egg production and hatchability

  • Improves bone strength and feather quality

  • Reduces leg disorders and footpad dermatitis

✔ Livestock (Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, Horses)

  • Supports immune response and disease resistance

  • Prevents parakeratosis and hoof cracking in cattle and pigs

  • Improves weight gain and feed efficiency

✔ Aquaculture (Fish, Shrimp, Crustaceans)

  • Promotes shell and skeletal formation in shrimp and fish

  • Enhances enzyme function for nutrient absorption

  • Prevents zinc deficiency symptoms

✔ Pet Food Industry (Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, etc.)

  • Supports healthy skin and fur in companion animals

  • Boosts metabolism and digestion

  • Strengthens immune system in pets
