Article Synopsis
- Zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) were tested as a feed supplement in lambs to see how they affect ruminal fermentation, microbiota, and histopathology over various durations.
- The results showed that both ZnO-NP and Zn phosphate-NP improved dry matter digestibility and altered the bacterial population, with ZnO-NP showing beneficial effects on ammonia concentration and enzyme activities.
- The study concluded that Zn-NP supplementation for up to 70 days enhanced feed efficiency and influenced rumen health, leading to observable changes in the ruminal epithelium and tissue structure.
