The effect of inorganic and organic form of zinc on digestibility of nutrients in dairy cows in three stages of reproductive cycle
The aim of our experiment was to compare the effect of feeding inorganic and organic forms of zinc in premix on the coefficient of digestibility of nutrients in the feeding ration for cows in three stages of reproductive cycle – 14 d before calving and 30 and 60 d after calving. The experiment was c...

Cows were fed the diet based on maize silage, lucerne haylage, sugar beet pulp silage, grass or lucerne hay and concentrate containing premix with either inorganic or organic zinc form.

The digestibility of the zinc and fiber were the most increased. Digestibility of zinc in OZF on 14th day before calving was higher than in IZF (P < 0.05). Feeding of organic zinc forms had downward effect only on the digestibility of copper.https://acta.mendelu.cz/59/6/0017/crude proteincrude fiberfatashcopper |
