“…The present results agreed with Mostafa et al (2019) who showed that ingestion different doses of Zn-Met didn't affect live body weight and feed consumption during pre-or post-partum of she-camels. In the present study, there were improvements in BH and RS consumption during lactation periods may be referring to the existence of probiotic Bacillus subtilis incorporated in BZ.…”

“…While, placental weight without fluids didn't affect by experimental treatments. These results concurred with Mostafa et al (2019) who found that the addition of different levels of Zn-Met caused significant reduction in days open and uterine involution interval of camels, as well as decreasing duration of placental drop and improving the first estrus post-partum. The effect of BZ on shortening the duration of placental drop may be due to the ability of zinc to improve the stability of oxytocin, besides, zinc is essential for the binding of oxytocin to its cellular receptor (Liu et al, 2005 andAvanti et al, 2013).…”

“…The results indicated that body weight at 1 st service of camels supplemented 7 g of BZ was significantly (P<0.05) heavier than the treated and control groups. The current results were parallel with Mostafa et al (2019) who found that body weight of she-camels before or after calving didn't affect by Zn-Met supplementation. It is noteworthy that camels supplemented with 10 g of BZ showed the least number of services/ conceptions, shortest service period length and highest conception rates as compared to other groups.…”

“…Also, the present results were in accordance with those obtained by Shams (2008) and Zeedan et al (2008 and2009b) who found that addition Zn-Met or BZ improved blood globulin compared to the control group. Recently Mostafa et al (2019) found that TP and AL were (P<0.05) higher in camels fed ration containing 50 mg Zn-Met during pre-partum than control group, as well as, the concentration of TP was (P<0.05) increased with high doses of Zn-Met (40 and 50 mg) during post-partum as compared with the control and those of camel received low dose of Zn-Met (30 mg).…”

“…Furthermore, organic Zn supplementation can enhance resistance to udder stress in dairy goats (Salama et al, 2003). Mostafa et al (2019) revealed that addition Zn-Met at a level of 50 mg/kg DM 3 month's pre-partum up to 9 months post-partum, improved milk production, reproductive performance of female camels and growth performance of their offspring. Furthermore, in terms of mixed zinc methionine with Bacillus subtilis (Biogen-Zn ® ), Abu confirmed that addition of BZ as 0.5 or 1.0 g/head/day during reproduction stages of goats able to improve reproductive performance through lowering the incidence of estrus, reducing the number of days to estrus, conception rate, fertility, fecundity and kidding rate and improve some blood components.…”

rganic zinc-binding with probiotic (Biogen-Zn ® ; BZ) is a Zn-methionine combined with Bacillus subtilis capable of improving zinc bioavailability, animal health and ameliorating reproductive stress. The present experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of addition BZ to she-camels on their physiological status, reproductive and productive traits under semi-arid Egyptian conditions. Twenty pregnant Maghrebi camels (4-6 parities) with average body weight of 519.96±19.98 kg were randomly divided into four groups (n=5 in each) according to live body weight and parity. The 1 st group, camels were fed basal ration and served as control (without supplementation). The 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th groups of camels were fed the basal ration supplied with BZ at doses of 5, 7, and 10 g BZ/head/day, respectively. BZ was added daily during a period from the first day of the 10 th month of pregnancy period and continued up to seven months of lactation period. Blood samples were collected biweekly during different she-camels' reproductive stages at 10 th monthly of pregnancy, at 1 st day after calving, and during seven months of lactation period. The results indicated that BZ significantly increased glucose concentrations in serum, total protein, globulin in dose dependent manner. While, serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein were decreased in treated groups compared to the control one. Liver and kidney functions were improved at different sampling stages with 10 g of BZ treatment. Moreover, camels treated with 10 g of BZ revealed a significant effect on placental characteristics fluids including, the shortest duration drop of placenta and the heaviest weights of placenta treated group. As well as, live body weight at 1 st service, number of services/conception and service period length during the post-partum period were improved by BZ supplementation. In conclusion, organic zincbinding with probiotic (BZ) has a potential use for improving physiological status, reproductive and productive performance of she-camels, to particularly with a dose of 10g/h/d of BZ.

Zinc, a crucial trace element is vital for the growth and development of humans. It is frequently described as ‘the flower of life’ and ‘the source of intelligence’. Zinc supplements play a pivotal role in addressing zinc deficiency by serving as a vital source of this essential micronutrients, effectively replenishing depleted zinc levels in the body. In this paper, we first described the biological behavior of zinc in the human body and briefly described the physiological phenomena associated with zinc levels. The benefits and drawbacks of various zinc supplement forms are then discussed, with emphasis on the most recent zinc supplement formulations. Finally, the application of zinc supplements in food, medicine, and animal husbandry is further summarized. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Summary The present study aimed to use an in vitro follicle culture (IVFC) biotechnique as a tool to evaluate the influence of whole flaxseed as a feed supplementation in the diet on the in vitro development of caprine early antral follicles (EAFs) and further embryo production. In total, 18 adult goats were homogeneously allocated into two diet groups: Control and Flaxseed. EAFs from both experimental groups (300–400 µm) were isolated and cultured in vitro for 18 days. After IVFC, recovered cumulus–oocyte complexes were submitted to in vitro maturation, and subsequently to IVF and in vitro embryo culture. The endpoints evaluated were follicular growth and morphology, oocyte recovery rate and diameter, sperm penetration, pronuclei formation, embryo development, and estradiol production. The addition of the whole flaxseed in the diet did not affect (P > 0.05) follicular growth and diameter. A higher (P < 0.05) percentage of oocytes ≥ 110 µm was recovered from the flaxseed treatment. However, the sperm penetration rate was higher (P < 0.05) in the control treatment when compared with the flaxseed treatment, but no differences were found regarding the rate of fertilization nor cleaved embryos. In conclusion, dietary flaxseed increased the recovery rate of fully grown oocytes, but it did negatively affect the sperm penetration rate, even though there was no further effect on the cleavage rate.
