“…In addition, Ebeid[ 34 ] and Bozkurt et al[ 51 ] have reported similar outcomes when hens are fed flaxseed oil or FO as a n-3 PUFAs source. In the literature, different sources of Fe[ 44 ] and Zn[ 27 ] have no significant effects on external egg quality parameters or sensory attributes. However, Ogbuewu and Mbajiorgu[ 52 ] have indicated that dietary Zn supplementation enhances eggshell thickness in laying hens.…”

“…Trace minerals are present in the form of inorganic compounds, organic compounds, and nano-particles. Organic sources are more bioavailable and stable than inorganic sources, allowing the addition of feed containing lower mineral amounts[ 27 ]. In a recent study, Arbabi-Motlagh et al.…”

“…Yu et al revealed that serum T-AOC levels during the fattening stage were considerably greater in pigs receiving 90 mg/kg, 120 mg/kg, and 150 mg/kg of cysteamine chelated Zn compared to pigs receiving 60 mg/kg [15]. The addition of protein Zn to the diet at concentrations greater than 80 mg/kg dramatically raised serum SOD levels, as demonstrated by Kannan et al [41]. In the present study, the levels of T-AOC and SOD in the blood of calves tended to increase and then decrease as the concentration of dietary Zn amino acids increased, whereas the serum MDA levels increased.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with zinc (Zn) amino acids at different concentrations on immunity, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota composition in calves. Twenty-four one-month-old healthy Angus calves of comparable body weight were randomly divided into three groups (four males and four females in each group) based on the amount of Zn supplementation added to the feed the animals received: group A, 40 mg/kg DM; group B, 80 mg/kg DM; and group C, 120 mg/kg DM. The experiment ended when calves reached three months of age (weaning period). The increase in dietary Zn amino acid content promoted the growth of calves, and the average daily weight gain increased by 36.58% (p < 0.05) in group C compared with group A. With the increase in the content of dietary Zn amino acids, the indexes of serum immune functions initially increased and then decreased; in particular, the content of immunoglobulin M in group A and group B was higher than that in group C (p < 0.05), whereas the content of interleukin-2 in group B was higher than that in the other two groups (p < 0.05). In addition, the content of superoxide dismutase and total antioxidant capacity in the serum of calves in group B was higher than that in group C (p < 0.05), and the MDA level was lower than in group C (p < 0.05). Moreover, alpha diversity in the gut microbiota of calves in group B was higher than that in group A and group C (p < 0.05); the dominant phyla were Firmicutes and Bacteroidota, whereas the dominant genera were Unclassified-Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcus. Linear discriminant analysis showed that the relative abundance of Bacteroides in the gut microbiota of calves in group B was higher than that in group A, and the relative abundance of Prevotellaceae-UCG-003 was higher compared to that in experimental group C. Thus, dietary supplementation of 80 mg/kg of Zn amino acids to calves could improve the immune function and antioxidant capacity, as well as enrich and regulate the equilibrium of gut microbiota, thus promoting the healthy growth of calves.
