Why Zinc and Copper Together?

Zinc and copper are essential trace minerals for horses. They are involved in numerous normal metabolic processes and play important roles in the formation and maintenance of skin, coat and hooves.

In addition to ensuring adequate intake, it is important to consider the balance between these two trace minerals. CdG Zinc & Copper Strong provides zinc and copper in a ratio of approximately 5:1.

Organic Bioplex® Trace Minerals

CdG Zinc & Copper Strong contains zinc and copper in organic, chelated forms. In Bioplex® trace minerals, the minerals are bound to organic compounds, distinguishing them from traditional inorganic mineral sources.

Bioplex® trace minerals have been extensively studied in animal nutrition. Organic trace mineral sources offer a high-quality option for supplementing a horse's mineral intake.

Feeding Instructions

Adult horses (approx. 500 kg): 10 g daily, mixed with feed.

Ponies: Adjust the serving size according to body weight and the overall diet.

1 measuring scoop (15 ml) = 10 g

Each 10 g daily serving provides:

• Zinc: 580 mg

• Copper: 120 mg

Recommended period of use: up to 8 weeks. It is recommended to seek advice from a veterinarian or nutrition expert before use or before extending the period of use.

This product is a mineral feed intended for a particular nutritional purpose: support of the regeneration of skin and appendages.

The high concentration of trace minerals must be taken into account when evaluating the horse's overall diet. The total zinc and copper intake must comply with the applicable maximum levels in complete feed.
