Effect of the different zinc sources on body weight of heat stressed V-line buck rabbits.
| Parameters | Zinc sources | SEM | P value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Zn-Met | ZnO-NPs | Zn-S | |||
| Initial body weight (g) | 2885.83 | 2877.50 | 2800.00 | 2805.83 | 34.46 | 0.751 |
| Final body weight (g) | 3634.17 | 3860.83 | 3885.00 | 3846.67 | 36.86 | 0.046 |
| Boy weight change (g) | 748.33b | 983.33a | 1085.00a | 1040.83a | 31.37 | 0.001 |
Means in row with different superscript letters (a–c) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).
Zn-Met = zinc methionine; ZnO-NPs = zinc oxide nanoparticales; Zn-S = zinc sulphate.
