Zinpro launches practical guide to reevaluate trace mineral nutrition for different poultry species

 

 

 

Zinpro Corporation announced its newest management tool for poultry nutritionists – the Zinpro Global Poultry Mineral Guide.

 

Concerning the importance of the guide, Zinpro poultry nutrition expert Dr. Leonard Linares said: "The industry still resorts to outdated recommendations for minerals and vitamins, dating back to the 90s. But today's bird genetics and challenges are different, which prompts a critical look at trace mineral nutrition – including the levels fed and the source of the trace mineral."

 

Zinpro leveraged more than 80 scientific studies and peer-reviewed trials in different poultry species as the backbone of this first-of-its-kind tool, supporting the recommendations for different challenges such as breast myopathies and meat quality, food safety and antibiotic-free diets, infectious diseases, sustainability, different species including broilers, broiler breeders, commercial layers, turkeys and turkey breeders, and different production phases.

 

The guide shows which part (in ppm) of the overall requirement is advised to supplement in the form of Zinpro Performance Minerals.

 

"By replacing a part of the inorganic trace minerals with more bioavailable sources, you can be more precise and achieve better overall performance," Dr. Linares explained. "This is because Zinpro minerals have unrivaled absorption and do not compete with other trace minerals for the same absorption channels in the gut."

 

According to Dr. Linares, the result is better uptake of the mineral, better resilience against pathogen challenges and a better overall return on investment (ROI), without changing the total dosage.

 

Additionally, he pointed out that the result is more sustainable and cost efficient.

 

With the availability of the Zinpro Global Poultry Mineral Guide, poultry nutritionists can now offer more precise and proven recommendations to unlock birds' untapped potential.

 

The guide was to be launched at the ongoing International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, the United Stated.
