Abstract
Zinc oxide and zinc carbonate are dry blended with proteinaceous feeds for dairy cattle and beef cattle to protect the protein against rumen digestion. Although zinc oxide and zinc carbonate have limited water solubility and are not prereacted with the protein, milk production in dairy cattle and rate of weight gain in beef cattle can be increased in relation to protein intake.
