Abstract: Zinc is one of the essential microelements and plays an improtant role in growth and development of animals. As the organic microelement, zinc glycine has high bioavailability, and its application in animal production has some advantages in metal element emission reduction and environmental protection. In this paper, the effects of zinc glycine on the growth and reproductive performance, immunity and intestinal health of animals were summarized, and the requirement amount of zinc glycine for animals were discussed, in hoping to provide theoretical basis for scientific utilization of zinc glycine to improve animal health and promote animal growth in practical animal production.

Key words: zinc glycine, growth, reproduction, immunity, intestine, requirement amount
