The aim of this study is to determine of the effect of supplemental zinc on the concentration of the OXIdahon
products of nitric oxide and antioxidant vitamins in chicken serum. Chicken were divided into three experimental
groups and one control group, each group containing seven chicken. The experimental groups were treated
supplement zinc (125, 500, 1000 ppm). The concentration of nitric oxide oxidation products and antioxidant
vitamins in the serum of zinc treated chicken were analysed with spectrophotometricaliy. Nitrate (ppm), nitrite (ppm),
vitamin E (mgfdl), vitamin C (mgfdl) concentrations of experimental groups 1 .• 2 .• 3. and control group were found ;
6.16.6.41, 13.16,7.38, 1.09, 1.20, 1.30, 1.78; 0.121, 0.326, 0.247, 0.313: 0.927, 1.682, 1.204. 1.323 respectively. Nitnte
levels 01 control groups was found higher than experimental groups I ,and 2 (p<0.05). Nitrate levels were not sigmfficantly
differentes between groups. The vitamin E concentration of 1 experimental group was lower than other
groups (p<0.05). The vilamin C concentration of 2 experimental group was higher than 1 and 3 experimental groups
(p<0.05). In conclusion; the concentration of nilric oxide oxidation products in serum of zinc treated chicken were not
dilferentes between groups, but the antioxidant vitamins levels were increased. These results support the idea that
Zinc has an Important rol in the metabolism as an antioxidant trace element in chicken.
