Abstract
In a feeding experiment with 34 dairy cows, the effect of daily supple mentations of 2.2 g zinc/cow, supplied in the form of zinc methionine (Zn-Met), on the zinc concentration of the milk was investigated over 6 months. Despite the duplication of zinc supply, no significant varia tions in the zinc concentration of the milk were observed (control: 2. 9 mg; addition group: 3.2 mg Zn/kg milk).
