MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS ZINC CHELATE LIQUID ZINC TRACE MINERAL SUPPLEMENT ZINC CHELATE™ LIQUID ZINC TRACE MINERAL SUPPLEMENT Zinc Chelate™ is designed to provide zinc in an electrically neutral solution so the element will not be complexed in the rumen and will not corrode metal. The greatest demand for zinc is at peak lactation. PHYSIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE • Helps fight infection • Keeps skin and hair healthy • Important in both male and female fertility • Hardens hooves DOSAGE Each litre contains: Zinc 50,000mg Peak Demand: 4ml/Cow/Day = 250 cows/litre Non-Peak Demand: 2ml/Cow/Day = 500 cows/litre When cows are dosed at 4ml/cow/day in the peak demand period they receive: Zinc 200mg per cow per day LOW COST DOSAGE 4ML PER DAY FOR 200MG OF ZINC HELPS WITH HOOF HARDENING AND SUPPORTS IMMUNE RESPONSE CONVENIENT DOSING THROUGH DRENCHING, TROUGH TREATMENT OR ON FEED SUPPLEMENTS DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS OTHER ZINC CHELATE™ FEATURES • Stiff joints • Cracked hooves & skin around nostrils • Reduced growth rates caused by a fall in feed intake and conversion efficiencies • Reduced production • Impaired reproductive function • Helps regenerate cell damage • Improves growth rates and production HOW TO USE ZINC CHELATE™ DOSE RATE - ZINC CHELATE™ PRODUCT COMPOSITION Components CAS-No. Concentration [%] rFOR MORE INFORMATION 0800 DEOSAN (33 67 26).

When supplementary feeds are being used that are low in trace elements, e.g. maize, brassicas, PKE or cereal silage, peak use rates will be required. WHAT IS A CHELATE? A chelate is a chemical compound containing a metal ion encircled by non-metal ions. In a mineral supplement the presentation of minerals as chelated products helps retain the mineral in the rumen and intestine and thus improves the bioavailability. By comparison the same mineral when presented in a sulphate form passes more readily through the digestive system to be expelled from the body with reduced bioavailability.
