Comparison of zinc bioavailability in zinc-glycine and zinc-methionine chelates for broilers fed with a corn-soybean meal diet

The objective of this study was to compare the bioavailability of zinc (Zn) from zinc-glycine (Zn-Gly) and zinc-methionine (Zn-Met) as compared with zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) used as a standard in broilers. A total of 1,200 one-day-old male broilers (Cobb 500) were randomly allotted to one of 10 treatmen...
