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.

Responsible resource use and conservation are goals that drive continual investment. By optimizing our operations and helping our customers reduce their impact on the environment we can shrink our footprint and make a positive difference for the world.
