Modulation of plasma copper and zinc concentrations by disease states in ruminants

W Corrigall et al. Vet Rec. .

Abstract

Alterations in plasma copper and zinc concentrations were associated with the onset and course of several diseases in sheep and cattle. Plasma Cu concentration rose as plasma Zn declined. The pattern of these changes was similar to those reported in non-ruminant animals and man.
