Functional group: compounds of trace elements ‘3b606 - Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate Characterisation of the additive Preparation of zinc amino acid complex where the zinc and the amino acids derived from soya protein are chelated via coordinate covalent bonds, as a powder with a minimum content of 10 % zinc. All animal species - - Dogs and cats: 200 (total) Salmonids and milk replacers for calves: 180 (total) Piglets, sows, rabbits and all fish other than salmonids: 150 (total) Other species and categories: 120 (total) 1. The additive shall be incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures to address the potential risks by inhalation, dermal contact or eyes contact, in particular due to the content of heavy metals including nickel. Where risks cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by these procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment. 27 July 2026 Characterisation of the active substance Chemical formula: Zn(x)1–3 · nH2O, x = anion of any amino acid from soya protein hydrolysate.
