Best of Show in Equine Nutrition
At Zinpro, our area of expertise is trace mineral nutrition, and we did much of the pioneering research on trace minerals for the livestock industry. This research proves that it isnât enough to simply add ordinary trace minerals to a horseâs diet, as they often pass through without ever being absorbed by the animal. Zinpro Performance Minerals® are designed for optimum absorption, providing the highest trace mineral absorption in the industry.
Trace Mineral Functions
When trace minerals from Zinpro Performance Minerals® are fed as part of a well-balanced equine diet, they can help improve the health and performance of horses. Supplementing equine diets with these highly bioavailable organic trace minerals offers many benefits including: immunity, reproduction, skin and coat quality, hoof condition, growth and muscle development and feed digestibility.
The trace minerals zinc, copper, manganese and cobalt have been proven to positively affect many vital functions in horses.
âOur steady growth has come about first, as a result of being a pioneer in the research and development of Performance Minerals, our unique, patented and research-proven forms of trace minerals, and second, because of the quality of our people and products,â says Bill Scrimgeour, president and chief operating officer, Zinpro Corporation.
âUltimately, the reason weâre growing and doing well today is because of the benefits we create for our customers and the dedication and commitment from our employees to provide value for animals, our customers and the industry we serve.â
The company was founded on May 18, 1971, by Dean Anderson and his wife, Mary. âZinpro started from a unique idea and an entrepreneurial spirit, and was driven by the passion of its founders to help animals to live healthy, full and productive lives,â says Scrimgeour. âIn fact, our mission today is to improve the wellness and performance of animals and to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world.â
Accomplishing the companyâs mission begins with its emphasis on research. âBuilding on this foundation, our current CEO, Mike Anderson, has led our companyâs innovative and entrepreneurial spirit over the past 23 years to be a reliable source for nutritional solutions that improve the lives of animals,â says Scrimgeour. âOur determination is ingrained in our culture, and this spirit drives all of us at Zinpro to accomplish great things.â
Over the years, the companyâs industry-leading, peer-reviewed research publications have demonstrated that Zinpro Performance Minerals can help to improve hoof health, feed conversion, animal growth, milk production, reproduction and immune function, just to name a
few. âWe are improving animal wellness from the inside out,â says Scrimgeour.
âOur patented molecules help to stimulate a physiological outcome, such as immunity and skin integrity, that will drive a positive performance response in areas like milk, meat and egg production.â
