Key Insights from Zinpro Experts at EuroTier

NutriNews International: Key Insights from Zinpro Experts at EuroTier

At the 10th edition of EuroTier, the largest livestock exhibition in Europe, NutriNews International had the privilege of interviewing two experts from Zinpro: Cibele Araujo Torres, Poultry Nutritionist, and Marie-Laure Ocaña, Dairy Nutritionist. The discussion highlighted innovative strategies in animal nutrition and the unique benefits of Zinpro’s trace mineral products, including their cutting-edge solutions for poultry and dairy production.

Unlocking the Benefits of Zinc Supplementation in Poultry

Cibele Araujo Torres shared insights on how Zinpro’s Amino Acid Complex technology sets their trace minerals apart. Unlike other sources, Zinpro’s trace minerals are absorbed in their intact amino acid form, resulting in superior bioavailability. This approach ensures that zinc is fully utilized by the animal, enhancing health and performance.

One of the standout points discussed was the long-term impact of early zinc supplementation in poultry:

• Zinc promotes intestinal growth and supports early development, which translates into better body weight and overall performance throughout the bird’s life.
• The superior absorption of Zinpro’s trace minerals ensures maximum efficacy compared to inorganic alternatives.

Nutritionists were encouraged to critically evaluate the absorption mechanisms of the trace minerals they use, as this is a key determinant of their effectiveness.

ISOFerm: Transforming Transition Cow Nutrition

Marie-Laure Ocaña detailed the benefits of ISOFerm, a Zinpro product that is revolutionizing dairy cow management during the transition period. She highlighted two primary advantages of ISO-Firm:

1. Minimizing weight loss during the transition period.
2. Improving liver function by reducing the buildup of ketone bodies and fat mobilization.

ISOFerm works through a dual mode of action:

• In the rumen, it enhances fermentation by supporting fiber-digesting bacteria.
• In the liver, it contributes to energy balance by providing branched-chain amino acids, which are stored and later used as a glucose source during calving.

This results in cows that are healthier, produce more milk, and experience fewer transition-related diseases like ketosis. Farmers have reported higher milk yields, better energy levels, and an improved return on investment.

Why This Matters

Both zinc supplementation for poultry and ISOFerm for dairy cows demonstrate Zinpro’s commitment to science-driven innovations that enhance animal health and productivity. By addressing challenges like nutrient absorption and transition cow management, Zinpro continues to set benchmarks for the livestock industry.
