Zinc is essential trace minerals require many biological, particularly enzyme positive influence on livestock growth and reproduction.

It is essential for the normal functioning of the cell including protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth and cell division.
When the soil is polluted with zinc, many plants often have zinc uptake that their system cannot handle.
Plants take up on different parts of the plants exposed to the air from polluted environments contaminated forage may absorb concentrations that are damaging to their health.
