Zinc

Zinc chelate · Zn

Mechanism

Zink ist Bestandteil zahlreicher Metalloenzyme und an Keratinbildung, Wundheilung und Immunfunktion beteiligt. In der Pferdefütterung wird es häufig zusammen mit Kupfer in einem definierten Verhältnis ergänzt, da beide um die Resorption konkurrieren. Entscheidend ist deshalb das Verhältnis, nicht die Einzelmenge: eine hohe Zinkgabe bei ohnehin knappem Kupfer kann die Versorgungslage verschlechtern statt verbessern. Ein weiterer, oft übersehener Punkt sind Bindemittel wie Zeolith, Bentonit und Kieselgur — sie binden auch Spurenelemente und scheiden sie mit aus.

Cautions

  • · Excess inhibits copper absorption
