“…Chromium supplements have enhanced bovine cell mediated immunity, but an effect was not demonstrated in all studies (75,76). Sulphur supplementation of goats has enhanced humoral immunity (77). Zinc supplementation of poultry diets improved the phagocytic ability of macrophages in vivo , and improved cellular and innate immunity (27).…”

This review attempts to explain how dietary mineral intake may affect the immune system, with particular reference to gastrointestinal nematode infestations of livestock, and considers its significance for other gut infections as well as for other species. Of the 56 minerals found in mammalian tissues, 16 are currently considered to be essential, and a further 13 probably essential, for cell and tissue function. To date, eight of these have been shown to affect the function of the mammalian immune system directly. Nine others have roles in physiological pathways such as neurological or endocrine function, or protein or carbohydrate metabolism, which in turn regulate the immune system. The remainder may in the future be shown to have immunologically specific roles. The pathogenesis of mineral effects on immunity involves a number of pathways and molecular mechanisms. Major areas requiring further investigation are the relationship between deficiency of minerals and in vivo immune-mediated protection against disease, in particular diseases of the mucosa, and the mechanisms by which the minerals or their deficiency exert their effect on immunity. Research is also required into the possibility that animals in the process of acquiring gut immunity have higher requirements for minerals.

“…Cysteine-rich molecules, such as metallothionein, playa vital role in protecting animals from excesses of Cu, cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) while others influence Se transport and protect tissues from Se toxicity (Underwood and Suttle, 1999). Dietary S has also been shown to enhance the humoral immune response of goats (Rao et al, 1999).…”
