#69 - Dr. Danyel Bueno Dalto: The metabolization of Zinc and Copper in Post-weaning Piglets

The efficient metabolization of trace minerals, such as zinc and copper, is essential for the well-being and growth of post-weaning piglets. Along with proper supplementation and feeding strategies, those minerals are critical to supporting the physiological processes, immune function, and overall health of the animals during this crucial stage of development. So in this episode, Dr. Danyel Bueno Dalto shares some research on providing different levels of zinc oxide and analyzing the metabolism of zinc and copper in nursery pigs.
