Super Zinc was delivered through the existing drinking-water system — no special equipment.
The setup
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Animals | 38,000 white-feather broilers |
| Duration | 34 days |
| Delivery | Via drinking water |
| Dosing days | Around days 10–12, 21–23 and 27–29 |
| Comparison | Treated flock vs control flock on standard commercial feed |
The results
Headline outcomes
- Average body weight 2.29 kg vs 2.08 kg control — +13%
- Production index 506 vs 454
- Reduced foot-pad dermatitis in the treated flock
- Estimated batch use on the order of ~10 kg concentrate for 38,000 birds
The production index — a composite of liveability, weight, feed efficiency and days — is the single most useful number here, because it rolls several performance drivers into one figure. A move from 454 to 506 is a meaningful commercial gain at flock scale.
An honest read
We think credibility matters more than hype, so here is the balanced view:
- What it shows: at commercial scale, water-dosed Super Zinc was associated with better body weight, a higher production index and improved foot-pad scores versus a control flock.
- What it doesn't show: a field trial on working farms is not a controlled university study. Genetics, season, house and management all influence results, and a single trial cannot isolate every variable. We make no disease-prevention or treatment claims from it.
- Reproducibility: Super Zinc has been used on commercial farms since 2022 with consistent producer feedback; we provide the full data package for due diligence and encourage a local trial on your own birds.
The companion pig trial
A separate trial conducted with a major Taiwanese feed group at a Nantou farm added 12 ppm to sow feed and saw an improved live-born piglet ratio at negligible added cost per farrowing pen. Notably, that report was candid that it could not demonstrate an effect on gut/diarrhea outcomes under its conditions — the kind of honesty we'd rather show than hide.
How to run your own trial
- Pick comparable houses/flocks for treated vs control.
- Dose via drinking water at 10–25 ppm — see the dosing guide.
- Track body weight, production index, FCR, liveability and foot-pad scores.
- Keep records of dose, days and water volume for a clean comparison.

Frequently asked questions
What were the results of the Super Zinc broiler trial?
In a 38,000-bird, 34-day field trial, the Super Zinc flock reached 2.29 kg average body weight versus 2.08 kg for the control (+13%), with a production index of 506 vs 454 and reduced foot-pad dermatitis. Results reflect specific farm conditions.
How was the product given to the birds?
Through the existing drinking-water system on selected days (around days 10–12, 21–23 and 27–29), so birds always had access to dosed water — no special equipment required.
Are these results a guarantee?
No. Field-trial outcomes depend on genetics, season and management, and we make no disease claims. We provide the full data package and recommend a local trial on your own birds.
