Zinc oxide mitigates diarrhea impacts
We explored how zinc oxide (ZnO), often used as a feed additive, affects diarrhea and gut health in piglets infected with the ETEC K88 strain. Through careful observation, we found that piglets suffering from this infection exhibited significantly increased fecal scores compared to those not affected. The ETEC K88 strain harms the small intestine, leading to a loss of villus height and a decrease in important antioxidant activities.

Our findings revealed that ZnO administration counteracts these negative effects effectively. It not only improved the overall health of the intestine but also enhanced its ability to combat oxidative stress. We also observed a balanced restoration of gut microbiota, as ZnO helped normalize the populations of certain beneficial bacteria altered by the infection.

In summary, our study indicates that ZnO can play a vital role in easing diarrhea in piglets infected with ETEC K88 by reducing intestinal damage, supporting antioxidative defenses, and restoring healthy gut flora.

Love them but be careful! I've been using these since January 2022. However, do not take them without eating first; I made that mistake and experienced stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. You've been warned.

Prevents complications

I previously took zinc in brewer's yeast but stopped due to concerns about high blood pressure. I found this product to be suitable and will continue using it, provided the price remains stable, as zinc alone can lead to severe diarrhoea.
