Description

Willinton Hernan Pinchao Pinchao and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on zinc oxide nanoparticles given to Santa Inês ewes around lambing. Tiny zinc particles may be absorbed better than standard zinc. Thirty-three ewes received no supplement, nano zinc, or standard zinc particles, at 300 milligrams a day from late pregnancy to weaning.

Body weight, parasite egg counts, and most blood and immune measures did not differ between groups. The nano group showed higher counts of one white cell type and higher albumin than the standard particle group. Several protective antioxidant enzymes, which guard cells against damage, also responded clearly in the nano group. The authors conclude that nano zinc improved antioxidant response with no signs of poisoning at that dose.
