Please explain what you mean by "slave format". Do you mean binary (raw) format, or just formatted differently as a text file? (Different versions of BIND behave differently.)

Please keep in mind that a zone transfer between DNS servers is not a file transfer. The master does not send a file to the slaves. It sends DNS records, in binary (DNS protocol) format.
