Zinkserumresponse beim Pferd nach oraler Verabreichung von unterschiedlichen Zinkverbindungen

description: Summary In the here presented study, the zinc serum response was investigated after the application of 4 different zinc compounds with varying dosages. To be able to consider species differences, dogs and cats were also supplemented with the same compounds and the zinc serum values measured. A total of 4 ponies, 12 dogs and 11 cats were alternately fed with zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, zinc lactate and B-Traxim using a single dose of 10 mg zinc/kg KM and the zinc serum levels measured over the next 24 hours. For the ponies, the effect of a single dose of 20 mg zinc/kg KM (except zinc lactate) was also measured. In the third approach, the ponies were supplemented 2,5 mg zinc/kg KM per day for a total of 14 days. The results were as follows: • The zinc serum level increased significantly after the application of zinc sulfate and B-traxim in relation to the dosage (Tab. 1). Zinc lactate also showed signs of a potential increase but due to the reduced tolerance was only tested in the lower dosages. In contrast, zinc oxide did not show a significant zinc serum response regardless of the applied amount. Tab. 1: Mean values of the maxima with standard deviation (SD) and minimum / maximum zinc serum values for the ponies (Mean values, not indicated with the same letter differ significantly) 10 mg Zn / kg KM 20 mg Zn / kg KM Compound Mean Maxima SD Range Mean Maxima SD Range Control 860  200b 660-1102 854  209b 649-1146 Zinc oxide 1100  340ab 776-1564 1136  463b 842-1785 Zinc sulfate 2080  800a 1030-2805 4134  1323a 2880-5888 B-Traxim 2120  670a 1397-2885 4895  1497a 3136-6206 Zinc lactate 1810  630ab 1171-2638 • No significant increase of the zinc serum levels could be found after the daily application of 2,5 mg zinc/kg KM over the 2 weeks. All levels were within the range of the ones presented in current literature. • For the dogs and cats, no significant zinc serum response could be determined after the supplementation of 10 mg zinc/kg KM, regardless of the zinc com…
