The recommended range
ZnoNova Super Zinc is a highly concentrated product (nano ZnO at ~60,000 ppm). It is designed to be heavily diluted before use. The recommended in-use concentration is:
Target dose
- 10–25 ppm in-use (drinking water or feed)
- Dilution: 2,400–7,200× by volume
- By weight: roughly 0.017–0.042% (≈ 6,000–2,400× dilution)
- pH neutral (7) — compatible with normal water lines
Convert ppm to a dilution ratio
The two are just two ways of saying the same thing. As a rule of thumb for Super Zinc:
| Target in-use dose | Approx. dilution (by volume) | Per 1,000 L water |
|---|---|---|
| 10 ppm | ~7,200× | ~139 mL concentrate |
| 12 ppm | ~6,000× | ~167 mL concentrate |
| 20 ppm | ~3,600× | ~278 mL concentrate |
| 25 ppm | ~2,880× | ~347 mL concentrate |
Figures are practical approximations for the standard liquid concentrate; confirm against the product CoA for your batch.
Feed inclusion (per ton)
If you prefer to add it to feed rather than water, a useful anchor: ~100 g of concentrate per ton of feed corresponds to roughly 12 ppm in-feed (about a 10,000× dilution). Scale up or down for your target dose.
Practical tips
- Mix into a stock solution first, then meter into the line — easier to dose accurately than adding neat concentrate.
- Dose continuously over the chosen days so intake is even across the flock.
- Clean water lines still matter; zinc supports hygiene but does not replace line management.
- Match the dose to the goal — routine zinc status (lower end) vs targeted support windows (upper end).
- Keep records — dose, days, water volume — both for results and for traceability.
Other species
The same 10–25 ppm logic applies to layers, pigs and aquaculture, adjusted for intake and goal. For sows, a documented trial used ~12 ppm in feed. Ask us for a species-specific dosing sheet with your sample.

Frequently asked questions
How much zinc oxide concentrate do I add to drinking water?
For a 10–25 ppm target, dilute Super Zinc roughly 2,400–7,200× by volume — about 139–347 mL of concentrate per 1,000 L of water. Start at the lower end for routine use and confirm against your batch CoA.
How much per ton of feed?
About 100 g of concentrate per ton of feed corresponds to roughly 12 ppm in-feed (about a 10,000× dilution). Adjust for your target dose.
Can I dose it continuously?
Yes. The product is pH-neutral and water-soluble, so it can be metered continuously into drinking water over the chosen days for even flock intake.
