Description
Gaye Bulut, Nese Hayat Aksoy, and Caner Ozturk test nano zinc oxide feed supplements in pregnant ewes around lambing, in work published in 2026. The weeks around birth bring sharp metabolic and oxidative changes in sheep. Nano zinc oxide may act as an antioxidant, but its effects in dairy-type ewes were unclear.
Fourteen healthy pregnant Lacaune ewes were split between a control diet and a dosed diet. Blood was sampled three weeks before lambing, just after lambing, and three weeks after. The supplement did not change the main oxidative stress measures. Some metabolic values did differ by group, including a ketone marker, phosphorus, and cholesterol. Many other values shifted with time alone, as expected around birth. The authors conclude the tested dose had limited effect.
