Brussels continues to tinker with this feed additive, but this time they are behind events. Again, the politicians in the European Union (EU) have decided to meddle with animal nutrition. Right or wrong, this is a reality we have to live with, and, in this case, the European Commission is behind events.https://www.feedstrategy.com/blog/zinc-oxide-in-eu-animal-nutrition-will-be-banned-again/
The problem has become such a concern that the EU banned the application of pharmaceutical dosages of ZnO to animals above 1500mg, unless required to combat diarrhoea or similar digestive illness………https://www.agchemigroup.eu/es/blog/entrada/end-road-zinc-oxide-feed-additive

Nanoparticles from combustion engines can activate viruses that are dormant in in lung tissue cells. This is the result of a study by researchers of Helmholtz Zentrum München, a partner in the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), which has now been published in the journal ‘Particle and Fibre Toxicology’. https://nano-magazine.com/news/2017/1/16/nanoparticle-exposure-can-awaken-dormant-viruses-in-the-lungs
Bioengineers and biophysicists from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, the Universite de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France, and the University of Tubingen in Germany have discovered that the toxicity of nanoparticles depends more on their size and the extent to which their surface area is charged than on […]
