Zinpro® 2023
Sustainability Report
We are a valuable part of the food production chain. Feed is a significant component (30-60%) of the animal production carbon footprint. Zinpro nutritional solutions contribute less than 0.5% of a diet or ration, but provide important benefits to improved health, wellbeing, productivity, feed efficiency and longevity. You will see these impacts and many others in our 2023 Sustainability Report.
