Bioavailability of Dietary Zinc Sources and Their Effect on Mineral and Antioxidant Status in Lambs

This study investigated the relative bioavailability (RBV) of zinc from different sources used as feed additives in ruminant nutrition based on Zn concentration and the activity of Zn-dependent enzymes in lamb tissues. Thirty-two male lambs of Improved Valachian breed (three months old) were randoml...

Thirty-two male lambs of Improved Valachian breed (three months old) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments. For 120 days, the lambs were fed either the total mix ration (TMR) providing 29.6 mg Zn/kg or the TMR supplemented with either zinc sulphate (ZnSO<sub>4</sub>), zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (ZnGly), or zinc chelate of protein hydrolysate (ZnProt).
