This study compared different dietary zinc oxide (ZnO) levels on zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) metabolism in weaned pigs. One hundred twenty weaned piglets (7.96 ± 1.17 kg; 21 d of age) were used in a completely randomized 3 × 4 factorial design composed with three levels of dietary ZnO at 100 (100Zn), 1,000 (1,000Zn), or 3,000 mg/kg (3,000Zn) and four ages at slaughter at 21 (day 21), 23 (day 23), 35 (day 35), and 42 d (day 42). Dietary Cu levels were constant at 130 mg/kg. Serum, jejunum, liver, a ...[more]
