Popis: SummaryThe absorption and tissue distribution of organic and inorganic forms of 65Zn were studied in the rat following single tracer oral doses. Rats dosed with 65Zn grown into young corn and rye plants (organic form) absorbed and retained more 65Zn in tissues than those given 65Zn mixed with tissue paper (inorganic forms). A part of the beneficial effect was evident when 65Zn was mixed with forage. The relatively high absorption values indicate that both forms were readily available, and thus incorporating zinc into young forage protein is not of major practical importance.
