Abstract: The impact of supplemental Zinc on Amylase Glucose - Insulin regulation were studied in 15 numbers of weanling pigs 87.50 percent Hampshire (Hampshire X Meghalaya local) weaned at 60 days of age, apparently healthy with uniform body weight (10.60 to 10.70 kg) were selected for the experiment and were randomly allocated into 3 treatment groups viz. Group A (100ppm Zn) as per the recommendation of NRC (1998) which was considered as control, B (200ppm Zn) and C (300ppm Zn) comprising 5 weanling pigs in each group. The experiment was conducted for a period of 4 months (2 to 6 months of age). The body weight gain (BWG) was measured and serum sample were collected at fortnightly interval from 2 to 6 months of age. The BWG, serum zinc concentration, amylase activity and insulin concentration was found significantly (P
