چکیده

1. A 30-week study has been made in growing ewe lambs of the effects of dietary supplementation with molybdenum, or Mo plus inorganic sulphate on the distribution of copper in their blood plasma and kidneys. 2. The addition of 25 mg Mo and 5 g SO42-/kg diet increased Cu concentrations in plasma and kidney and decreased those in liver. Plasma caeruloplasmin activities (ferroxidase; EC 1.16.3.1) were unaffected. 3. Subcellular fractionation of the kidney cortex and gel filtration of the plasma and kidney cortex cytosol showed that the increased Cu content of these tissues was associated with abnormalities in the distribution of Cu. It appeared that both Cu and Mo were associated with the same proteins. 4. Dietary supplementation with Mo alone (25 mg/kg) had no effect on plasma or kidney Cu concentrations, suggesting that S metabolism is involved in the formation of the abnormal Cu-binding proteins in plasma and kidney. 5. The results are discussed in relation to the induction of Mo-induced Cu-deficiency states and the possible involvement of thiomolybdates.

Effect of increasing elemental sulphur and copper intakes on the copper status of grazing sheep

Under some conditions, the use of high-sulphur fertilisers has been thought to be associated with an increase in the incidence of copper deficiency among ruminants grazing the fertilised pastures or fed treated herbage. In this study 35 Romney lambs grazing ryegrass–white clover pasture of low molybdenum content (<0.5 mg Mo/kg DM) received dietary supplements of elemental S and Cu 3 times weekl...

Heavy Metals and Trace Elements in the Livers and Kidneys of Slaughtered Cattle, Sheep and Goats

Background: This study was performed to evaluate the levels of heavy metals in the livers and kidneys of cattle, sheep and goats from a mining region in the west of Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 90 samples were collected from the livers and kidneys of cattle (n=30), sheep (n=30) and goats (n=30) from a slaughterhouse in Hamedan City, western Iran. Lead, cadmium, manganese, zi...

The role of organic sulphur in the copper-molybdenum-S interrelationship in ruminant nutrition.

1. The ability of organic and inorganic sulphur to influence the copper and molybdenum metabolism of sheep was compared in a series of three 2 X 2 factorial design experiments. In each experiment, four groups of five to seven hypocupraemic ewes were repleted with a basal diet supplemented with 6 mg Cu/kg and containing S and Mo at one of two concentrations, 1 or 4 g S and 0-5 or 4-5 mg Mo/kg re...

Trace mineral changes in response to organic and inorganic selenium supplementation

Twenty-one Lori–Bakhtiary sheep were randomly allocated into 3 groups to compare the effects of oral selenium nano particles (Se NPs) and sodium selenite (Na-Se) supplementation on serum selenium, copper, zinc, molybdenum, manganese and cobalt concentration. Groups 1 and 2 orally received Se NPs and Na-Se (1 mg/kg) for 10 consecutive days, respectively ...
