Copper Toxicity. I

TL;DR: Differences in Cu storage between lambs and goats may be related to species differences in Cuutilization and hence resistance to Cu toxicity and hence Resistance to haemolytic crisis.

TL;DR: Of several potentially interactant compounds tested, only chromic chloride, diethyldithiocarbamate, and penicillamine were found to reduce the loss of K+.

TL;DR: Chronic hepatitis and increased hepatic copper concentrations, from 1,600 to 6,361 micrograms/g dry tissue were found in 4 related, Australian-bred Bedlington terriers.

TL;DR: In this article, 30 samples of poultry litter, 14 from broiler and 16 from layer houses, were collected from poultry units in different parts of Jordan, and nutritional values were assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of copper sulphate (about 200 mg per kg) on the gizzard linings of broilers was found to be associated with a massive increase in shedding of the glandular cells into the koilin layer.

TL;DR: Eight sheep were dosed repeatedly with copper sulphate in order to induce chronic copper poisoning and this object was achieved in 7 animals and several had repeated haemolytic episodes, associated with neutrophilia, Heinz body formation and high blood urea levels.

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that there is at present littie risk of Cu toxicity following applications of Cu-enriched pig-manure slurry; the greatest risk to susceptible stock would appear to be by ingesting either grazed or conserved herbage contaminated with slurry.
