Cobalt and Copper Deficiency in Swedish Landrace Pelt Sheep

Abstract: Summary In 1983, lambs in flocks on eastern Gotland in the Baltic were observed to be suffering from poor growth, depressed appetite, poor general condition, anaemia, loss of wool, serous lacrimal secretion and ataxia. The diagnosis of cobalt deficiency was established on the basis of the clinical findings. Multielement analysis confirmed the suspicions, and in addition also revealed that the copper level was unsatisfactory. Analytical chemical investigations on a total of a 49 lambs, representing 19 flocks, r… Show more

“…In addition to amounts of Co in the liver, values of vitamin 812 in liver and blood (Suttle 1986) In Swedish unthrifty lambs with reported Co and Cu deficiency, liver Cu was on average 13 mg/kg ww (Schwan et al 1987). In weaners affected with coast disease, a concurrent deficiency of Co and Cu in Australia, Marston et al (1938) Suttle (1987) reported Cu toxicity in lout of 4 ewes, which had received 20 g CuO particles, but none of those receiving smaller doses showed any signs of toxicity.…”

“…All values were, however, within the range reported for normal lambs from eastern Norway (Freslie & Norheim 1976). In Sweden, values about 30 mg/kg ww are normally found (Schwan 1987). Normal values of liver Zn in lambs in Western Australia were above 100 mg/kg ww, and 28 OWLD lambs had 133 mg/kg ww (R ichards & Harr ison 1981).…”
