Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of dietary zinc (Zn) supplementation in inorganic (zinc sulfate, ZnSO4) and organic (zinc methionine, Zn-Met) forms at two levels (100 or 200 mg/kg diet) on growth performance, digestibility coefficients and immune response of New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits. One hundred male NZW rabbit (at 6 weeks of age, 808 ± 11g average body weight) wer...
