ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of zinc supplementation on the activities of certain serum enzymes-alkaline phosphatase (ALP), CuZn superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), ceruloplasmin, SGOT and SGPT in pigs. Twenty four crossbred (Hampshire X Assam Local) pigs, 4 months of age were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=8 in each). Control (C) animals were offered basal diet supplemented with AAUVETMIN (Strategic Mineral Mixer) containing 100ppm elemental zinc (NRC requirement). Treatment 1 (T1) pigs were given Calcium Carbonate @1.5 % on DM basis to induce zinc deficiency in addition to the diet offered to control group. Pigs of Treatment 2 (T2) group were offered the same basal diet but supplemented with AAUVETMIN containing 500ppm elemental zinc. The serum ALP and CuZnSOD activity decreased significantly (P
