Bioavailability of organic and inorganic zinc sources in male broilers

Abstract: The objective of the current study was to determine the bioavailability of an organic zinc source (Availa-Zn) compared with zinc sulfate in a European-type broiler diet. A total of 480 one-day-old male Ross 308 broilers were housed in 48 digestibility cages (10 birds per cage), being randomly divided over 9 treatments. At d 3, the number of birds was standardized to 8. Birds were fed a basal wheat-maize-soya diet (containing 33.5 mg of Zn/kg) with different supplementation levels of zinc (reference zinc source… Show more

“…One of the important findings of the present study is that the organic sources of Zn, ZnGly, and ZnPOS increased Zn absorption. Similar results have been reported in other studies (Star et al 2012;Sirri et al 2016). How and to what degree the Zn absorption is affected by organic Zn form may depend on other interacting factors including the degree of chelation and the ratio of ligand to the minerals (Thomason et al 1976).…”

“…Zn deficiency causes numerous physical and pathological changes such as growth retardation, poor feathering, and decreased immunity to infection of several diseases (Star et al 2012). For carnivores such cat, mink, and ferret, a high level of dietary zinc (50 to 100 mg/kg diet) is required for optimum fetal development compared to other animal species.…”

“…Similarly, Sunder et al (2008) reported that a basal diet containing 29 ppm Zn was enough to support maximum bird performance. Additionally, as suggested by Star et al (2012), lack of response on FC and BWG in our study, could be due to the short duration of the experiment and imprinting period, and future research to test the effect of prolonged imprinting periods on performance will be of interest.…”
