Zincoret®S
Zincoret®S is a source of zinc oxide microencapsulated in a lipid matrix in order to favor an higher availability of zinc oxide at the intestinal level.
Zinc oxide is causing pollution in soil and toxicity in pigs at high levels. EU recommends a reduction in the use of zinc oxide in the feed.
Zincoret®S is a sustainable alternative to zinc oxide in weaning piglets diet.
Zincoret®S is a microencapsulated source of zinc oxide that may be included in piglet diets at low dosages. Thanks to Vetagro technology zinc oxide by-passes the stomach without reacting with hydrochloric acid, and it is slowly released in the intestine where it remains active.
Zincoret®S allows a lower excretion of zinc in faeces and in the environment.
Zincoret®S allows the slow release of zinc oxide in the small intestine.
Zinc oxide may induce a reduction in the permeability of the intestinal mucosa throughout a reduced expression of TNFa and the consequent strengthening of the tight-junctions. This ameliorates the intestinal integrity of the piglets at weaning.
