It participates in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate and lactic acid to promote growth. Zinc deficiency can easily cause incomplete keratosis, dysplasia, and hair deterioration and can affect animal reproductive function. purpose

4. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate is an allowable food zinc fortifier.
