Product Overview
One Premix in Place of Three Mineral Sources
Zinpro Availa Equine is a trace mineral premix made for equine feed and supplement manufacturers. It combines Availa zinc, manganese and copper in one ingredient, making it easier to formulate feeds and supplements that meet horses’ nutritional requirements while keeping manufacturing and product performance consistent.
Zinpro developed Zinpro Availa Equine in response to industry feedback. It gives manufacturers a simple way to deliver proven Zinpro Performance Minerals without the formulation challenges that come with combining separate zinc, manganese and copper sources.
At 10 g per horse per day, this one ingredient supplies 100% of the Zn, Mn, and Cu required for a 1,000 lb horse* while also satisfying the requirements for the Zinpro Verified Program.
- Zinc
- 400mg
- Manganese
- 400mg
- Copper

* Recommendation for a 500 kg horse (1,100 lb), based on Zinpro equine research and the NRC Nutrient Requirements of Horses (2007). Equal to 2,500 g/MT of complete feed at a fed rate of 4 kg per day.
