Two recent measurements of beauty production in deep inelastic scattering based on data collected by the ZEUS detector are summarised. In the first one, the beauty fraction in the data was obtained from events with a muon and a jet. In the second one, beauty cross sections were measured using the decay length significance and mass of inclusive secondary vertices. Differential cross sections are presented and compared to QCD predictions. The beauty contribution to the inclusive proton structure function F_2^bbbar was extracted for the jet+muon measurement and is compared to previous measurements and theoretical predictions.
