The data concerning the different zinc doses (30, 60, 75, 100, 120, 150 mg/kg of fodder) influence on glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase activity and renewed glutathione content in piglets' blood after weaning and at different periods after weaning from the sow are given in this article. The sharp decrease of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase activity in animals' blood of all groops at weaning day was established. The lowest glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase activity and renewed glutathione content in piglets' blood was during 10 days after weaning in 1st and second experimental groups, the zinc level was 30 and 60 mg/kg of mixed fodder. The highest enzyme activity and and renewed glutathione content was revealed in the blood of control 4th and 5th groups' piglets, which were fed the mixed fodder, the zinc level was 100, 120 and 150 mg/kg of mixed fodder. These data show the regulating influence of zinc on the glucose matabolism by pentose-phosphatic way in piglets' organism.
