Are Organic Zinc Sources Efficacious in Puppies?

Plant value of zinc in organic wastes

Effect of feeding organic and inorganic sources of additional zinc on growth performance and zinc balance in nursery pigs.

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding pharmacological concentrations of zinc (Zn), from organic and inorganic sources, on growth performance, plasma and tissue Zn accumulation, and Zn excretion of nursery pigs. Blood from all pigs was collected for plasma Zn determination on d 14 in Exp. 1, d 7 and 28 in Exp. 2, and d 15 in Exp. 3. In Exp. 1, 2, and 3, 90, 100, and ...

Relative Bioavailability of Different Zinc Sources Based on Tissue Zinc Concentration in Broiler Chickens

This research project was conducted to evaluate bioavailability and chemical properties of different zinc sources in broiler chickens when fed by practical diets. For that, 312 day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were fed from 8-28 day to estimate the biological availability of four zinc sources. Chicks were allocated randomly to 13 experimental diets in a 3 × 4 factorial design. Diets include...

Comparison of organic and inorganic zinc sources to maximize growth and meet the zinc needs of the nursery pig.

Zinc is the trace element involved in more biological functions than any other micromineral in the nutrition of the newly weaned pig. Its role in growth via protein synthesis and antioxidant defense makes it a key nutrient in the diet of the newly weaned nursery pig for maximum lean tissue growth and health. In this study, 500 pigs (5 pigs/pen) were weaned at approximately 18 d of age and fed 0...

Comparing ORGANIC SELENIUM sources

wide range of products is available; from inorganic, sodium selenite or selenate coated or not, even nanoparticles to organic forms such as selenized yeasts, chelates of selenium methionine (SeMet), pure forms of SeMet or hydroxy-selenomethionine, and some complexes sources of Se based on mixing mineral Se with glycinates, proteinates, etc. It has been confirmed that, comparing with mineral sel...
