A nutritional feed ingredient for animal feed. When used as a commercial feed ingredient, it must be declared as zinc amino acid complex, manganese amino acid complex, copper amino acid complex and cobalt glucoheptonate. Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) No. 57.150 and 57.148. Canada Reg. No. 982083. Availa-4, from Zinpro Performance Minerals®, is built on a unique, patented molecule that consists of one metal ion bound to one amino acid ion – called a metal amino acid complex. Zinpro Performance Minerals provide the highest biological efficacy of any trace mineral products on the market, which means more of the minerals are absorbed by the animal to deliver their full benefit. 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.
