Uptake of zinc from zinc sulfate and zinc proteinate by ovine ruminal and omasal epithelia

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 86(6), 1357–1363.

By: C. Wright n, J. Spears n & K. Webb*

author keywords: rumen; omasum; parabiotic; proteinate; zinc
MeSH headings : Absorption; Animal Feed; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Male; Omasum / metabolism; Random Allocation; Rumen / metabolism; Sheep / metabolism; Zinc / pharmacokinetics; Zinc Radioisotopes; Zinc Sulfate / pharmacokinetics
TL;DR: The results of the current experiments suggest that absorption of Zn into the bloodstream does not occur from the ruminant foresto-mach; however, Zn uptake occurs in ruminal tissue and is greater from ZnProt than from ZNSO(4). (via Semantic Scholar)
