SUMMARY Zinc is necessary for the activities of more than 100 enzymes associated with degradation and synthesis of biomolecules. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the specific levels (mg/kg DM) of dietary zinc (in the presence of its major antagonists, Fe and Cu), necessary for optimal metabolic efficiency required for optimal productivity in growth and reproduction. Three experiments were conducted to establish the minimal and optimal limits of dietary Zn requirements in WAd goat. Experiment 1 determined the average levels (mg/kg DM) of Zn, Fe and Cu that WAd goats are naturally expos...
