The structure and function of any protein is determined by its amino acid sequence. Thus, the substitution of one amino acid for another can alter the activity of a protein or its function. Mutations—or rather, polymorphism, once they become fixed in the population—can be deleterious, such that the altered protein is no longer able to fulfil its role with potentially devastating effects on the ...

Trace Minerals and Livestock: Not Too Much Not Too Little

The new approaches of the animal production systems make managing the mineral nutrition a challenge. Versus the excessive, trace mineral supply in intensively managed livestock, well above the physiological requirements, is the no trace mineral supplementation of organic systems, which become highly dependent on trace minerals in the soil. Nowadays, in addition to the animal health perspective,...
