The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding probiotics with or without Ca and Zn in the mineral mixture on the serum concentration of Zn in sheep. The addition of probiotics containing Ca and Zn resulted in a reduction in serum Zn in relation to groups GP and Gc, respectively. There was no significant difference (p <0.05) between groups and days of observation, so the addition of mineral elements to probiotics becomes detrimental to the health of sheep, which can predispose animals to produce subclinical deficiencies and / or a clinical certain mineral over time the use of these products
