ProPath? Zn 170 (zinc amino acid complex) is a nutritional feed ingredient for all species that contains 17 % organic zinc. It is built from a unique, patented trace mineral product that combines two specific amino acids, each bound (or complexed) to a separate zinc ion, in a stable, 1:1 ratio. Flexible for use in a wide variety of diets, such as conventional or specialty (like non-GMO), ProPath Zn 170 relies on two synergistic, amino-acid absorption pathways (cationic and anionic) to elevate zinc mineral nutrition in the animal. The trace mineral zinc is required by animals for numerous functions, including: immunity, reproduction, skin and hoof integrity, muscle development, milk production and eggshell quality. In addition, when an animal has the proper balance of trace minerals, it is better able to cope with the challenging effects of stress. Zinpro Performance Minerals provide the highest biological efficacy of any trace mineral products on the market. For more than 45 years, Zinpro Performance Minerals have delivered positive animal performance responses and a strong return on investment in operations around the world
