Abstract

It is intended to evaluate the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract in sheep supplemented with a zinc oxide nanoparticle (NP-Zn) as a functional food. In the digestive system of ruminants there is an intimate and complex relationship between the animal and the ruminal microbiota and the other compartments. Through the taxonomic diversity and function of the microbiota, he hoped to advance in the knowledge of the interaction between microbiota and animal, postulating a production system within the sustainability paradigm.
