Description
Zinc Lactate for Horses
Zinc lactate is a well-absorbed, gentle form of zinc (zinc bound to lactic acid). It’s used to support hooves, skin, coat quality, immune function, and metabolic health in horses.
Why Zinc Is Important
Zinc supports:
Hoof growth & strength
Skin integrity & coat shine
Immune function
Wound healing
Enzyme and protein synthesis
Many forage-based diets are marginal in zinc, especially if not balanced with a ration balancer.
Difference Between Zinc Lactate and Zinc Gluconate
Both zinc lactate and zinc gluconate are forms of zinc bound to organic acids. The main differences relate to elemental zinc content, absorption, and typical use.
Chemical Structure
Zinc lactate → zinc bound to lactic acid
Zinc gluconate → zinc bound to gluconic acid
Both are considered well-absorbed, gentle forms of zinc.
