Diseases Related to Copper, Molybdenum and Sulphur Interactions in Ruminants

Edition: 2006
Description:
Copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and sulphur (S) are essential minerals for the functioning of many biological processes in animals and humans and their interactions are widely recognised as being important especially in ruminant nutrition. A small change in Mo or S at concentrations encountered naturally in feed or herbage is capable of producing major changes in absorption, distribution, or excretion of Cu, resulting in clinical syndromes of either Cu deficiency or Cu toxicity in ruminants. Cattle given high S and low Cu in the feed tend to have low blood thiamine (B1) concentration and succumb to polioencephalomalacia (PEM).
