Abstract Zinc as an essential micronutrient in organisms and natural environments plays an important role in many biological activities. In this study, the effects of feeding with different sources of zinc supplements on seminal biochemical and enzymatic changes and quality and quantity indices of sperm in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated. A total of 108 broodstock males in four treatments were fed diets supplemented with 40 mg kg−1 of: 1. Mineral zinc (ZnSO4), 2. Zinc nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), 3. Organic zinc (Zn-proteinate, Bioplex Zn®) and 4. A diet containing no extra added zinc as control for 16 weeks. Sperm motility duration and spermatocrit percentage were higher in treatments supplemented with all zinc sources than the control group (P
