Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to determine if the addition of different levels of zinc (0, 1,500, 3,000 and 4,500 ppm) in piglets diets, influences blood profile (calcium, copper, iron, zinc, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), serum total protein (STP), albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLOB), alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate aminotransferase (ASP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) serum activity). Sixty weaned piglets (21 days of age), castrated males, crossed, from multisite production were used, arranged in a randomized design, with 4 traits, divided in 5 similar groups, within respective periods: Period 1 (P1), of the it weans (day zero) up to 14 days it after weaning; Period 2 (P2), from 15 to 42 days after weaning and Total Period (TP), of the it weans to the 42 days after weaning. The collections of blood were made to the 0, 7, 14, 21 and 42 days after weaning. The addition of 4,500 ppm of Zn fed 2 weeks post-weaning reached high Zn serum levels. Blood profiles were affected by collect day. KEY-WORDS: Swine, weaned piglets, zinc oxide.
