Studies of a naturally occurring molybdenum-induced copper deficiency in the yak

The clinical signs of a disorder known locally as "shakeback disease" in yaks in the North of the Qing Hai-Tibetan Plateau of China were defined: they included emaciation, unsteady gait, a 'shivering' back and deprived appetites. Coat colour was not affected. The mineral composition of soil and forages, and samples of blood and hair from yaks in affected ranches in this region were compared with those of 20 samples from unaffected areas. The mean concentration of molybdenum (Mo) in soil and forage was 4.85+/-0.21 and 4.96+/-0.25 microg/g (dry matter), respectively; the mean copper (Cu) to Mo ratio in the forage was only 1.34+/-0.36 compared to 8.12+/-1.31 for unaffected areas. The mean concentrations of Cu in blood and hair from the affected yaks were 0.29+/-0.17 and 3.51+/-1.12 microg/g, respectively, compared with 0.85+/-0.24 and 6.42+/-1.21 microg/g, for controls. The highest value for Cu in the blood of affected yaks was 0.58 mug/g and the lowest 0.03 microg/g (the corresponding highest values for unaffected yaks were 1.03 mug/g, the lowest 0.56 microg/g). There was a hypochromic microcytic anaemia and a low level of ceruloplasmin in the blood. The Cu deficiency in yaks was most severe during pregnancy and lactation, but oral administration of copper sulphate prevented and cured the disease. We conclude that "shakeback disease" of yaks in this region is probably caused by a secondary Cu deficiency, mainly due to the high Mo content in soils and forage.     

Studies of a naturally occurring sulfur-induced copper deficiency in Przewalski’s gazelles

The Przewalski’s gazelles in the Hudong area of the Qinghai Lake area in China were affected by an ailment characterized by pica, emaciation, dyskinesia, loss of appetite, and anemia. Concentrations of copper (Cu) in soil and forage from affected and unaffected areas were similar and within the normal range, but concentrations of sulfur (S) in soil and forage were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in affected than in unaffected areas. Concentrations of Cu in blood, hair, and liver from the affected Przewalski’s gazelles were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than those in healthy animals. Affected Przewalski’s gazelles showed a hypochromic microcytic anemia and a low level of ceruloplasmin. Oral administration of copper sulphate (CuSO₄) prevented and cured the disease. We conclude that the disorder of Przewalski’s gazelles was caused by secondary Cu deficiency, mainly due to high S content in forage.     

高寒草甸环境硒缺乏对牦牛血液生化指标及抗氧化系统功能的影响

为探究牦牛以骨骼肌损伤为特征的疾病的发病原因及诊断和治疗方案,本试验采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法分析土壤、牧草和动物组织矿物质元素含量,应用全自动血细胞分析仪、生化分析仪及可见光分光光度法分析血液参数、生化指标和抗氧化指标。结果显示,疾病发生区土壤和牧草硒含量均极显著低于正常区域(P<0.01);患病牦牛血液、肝脏和毛发硒含量均极显著低于健康牦牛(P<0.01)。患病牦牛血红蛋白(Hb)、红细胞数(RBC)极显著低于健康牦牛(P<0.01),血清磷酸肌酸激酶(CPK)、谷丙转氨酶(GPT)、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(GOT)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)均极显著高于健康牦牛(P<0.01);患病牦牛血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性及游离三碘甲腺原氨酸(FT_3)和三碘甲腺原氨酸(T_3)含量均极显著低于健康牦牛(P<0.01),血清丙二醛(MDA)、游离甲状腺素(FT_4)、甲状腺素(T_4)和促甲状腺激素(TSH)含量均极显著高于健康牦牛(P<0.01)。通过注射0.1%亚硒酸钠和5%维生素E的复方灭菌溶液对患病牦牛进行治疗,治疗组牦牛血液硒含量和血清抗氧化指标逐渐恢复正常,临床症状消失。因此,推测牦牛以骨骼肌损伤为特征的疾病是土壤和牧草硒缺乏所引起,以上结果在牦牛缺硒病的诊断中具有重要意义。

自2000年以来,青海省乌兰地区藏绵羊出现以异食、消瘦和贫血为特征的疾病。经分析该地区土壤、牧草和动物的矿物质元素含量,发现在患病区,土壤钼含量为（4.63±1.51）μg/g,牧草为（4.89±1.79）μg/g,极显著高于正常地区。患病动物血液平均铜含量为（0.23±0.07）μg/g,被毛铜平均含量为（3.27±0.71）μg/g,而正常区的动物为（0.97±0.23）μg/g和（6.78±1.57）μg/g,差异极显著;患病动物血液铜最高值为0.53μg/g,血液铜最低值为0.031μg/g。而正常地区藏绵羊血液铜含量最高值为1.33μg/g,血液铜最低值为0.83μg/g。同时患病动物血清铜蓝蛋白显著低于正常动物,并且有小红细胞贫血。结果表明,藏绵羊以异食、消瘦和贫血为特征的营养代谢疾病为钼诱导的次级铜缺乏。     

高寒草地硫酸铵施肥对放牧牦牛铜代谢的影响

为了评价施肥对牧草矿物元素含量和牦牛铜代谢的影响,在黄河首曲草地进行施肥试验、放牧试验和动物矿物元素补充试验.结果表明:施肥明显增加了牧草N的含量(P<0.01),但各施肥处理之间没有明显的差异.(NH4)2SO4施肥明显增加了牧草S的含量(P<0.01).试验结束时(NH4)2SO4施肥牧场的牦牛血液和肝脏铜(Cu)含量极显著低于(P<0.01)NH4NO3施肥牧场和对照牧场,同时(NH4)2SO4施肥牧场的牦牛出现小红细胞贫血.肝脏Cu含量最低的10头牦牛接受Cu补充,在整个试验过程中接受Cu补充的牦牛肝脏和血液的Cu含量都在升高.试验结束时,补充CuClO(OH)3的牦牛肝脏铜含量极明显高于(P<0.01)补充CuSO4的牦牛,但血液铜蓝蛋白(Cp)含量没有显著的差异 .     

Copper status and enzyme, hormone, vitamin and immune function in heifers

A survey was conducted in 10 districts of Northern India to record the copper deficiency in soil, fodder and serum samples. Significant deficiency of copper was observed in soil, fodder and serum samples of heifers. The copper deficient animals were listless, showed depigmentation of skin, stiff gait and were anaemic and diahorric. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the magnitude of copper deficiency in Northern India and to examine the various haematobiochemicals, enzymes, vitamin and immune function which are affected by the deficiency of copper, so as to identify the parameters which can be of diagnostic importance in copper deficiency. Forty hypocuperemic heifers were selected from these areas and were randomly divided into two groups A and B. The heifers in group A were provided with mineral mixture containing copper sulphate and in group B without copper sulphate. Significant improvement (P<0.01) was observed in the haemoglobin (Hb), total leukocyte count (TLC) and total erythrocyte count (TEC) level at the 30th day of treatment in the animals of group A. Significant (P<0.01) improvement in serum. Ceruloplasmin (Cp) level was observed within 30 days of treatment, while significant (P<0.01) improvement in monoamine oxidase and liver cytochrome oxidase was observed at the 60th day of treatment in group A animals. Regarding hormones significant improvement was observed in T(3) and T(4), in the animals of group A within 60 days of treatment. The values of vitamin A and E showed significant (P<0.01) improvement within 30th days of treatment. The phagocytic activity of neutrophils against Candida albicans significantly (P<0.01) improved in group A within 60 days of treatment. Similarly significant improvement in superoxide dismutase activity in RBC was observed at the 30th day, and WBC and whole blood at 60th day in group A animals. Significant improvement in liver Cu level was observed at the 30th day of treatment, while in group B the liver Cu was significantly (P<0.01) depleted at the 60th day of experimentation. Additional Cu supplementation improved growth performance significantly in group A.     

普氏原羚自然栖息地草地矿物质营养的评价

矿物质元素是动物生长发育和生命活动必需的营养。为了更好地开展普氏原羚的保护工作,对普氏原羚主要栖息地的青海湖布哈河上游地区高寒草甸的矿物质营养分布特点进行了系统的分析。应用显微分析法分析动物食性,采取电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法分析矿物质含量。结果发现,牧草萌发期的混合牧草硒和铜元素含量极显著高于牧草快速生长期(Cu,F_2,27=3.27, P=0.008; Se,F_2,27=3.27, P=0.009),但牧草枯黄期与萌发期间无显著差异。不同牧草品种体内的矿物质元素含量也存在明显的差异,唐古特铁线莲、沙蒿、芨芨草是主要的高硒植物,其中芨芨草硒含量最高。芨芨草是普氏原羚的基本食物,占总食物的13.68%,但不是普氏原羚的喜食植物(选择性指数为-0.886)。碱蒿、冷蒿、紫花针茅是主要的高铜植物,其中紫花针茅的铜含量最高,是普氏原羚的主要食物,占总食物的9.40%,但不是普氏原羚的喜食植物(选择性指数为0.037)。因此,对放牧动物来说,普氏原羚栖息地存在严重的矿物质营养不平衡问题,属于严重硒缺乏区,季节性铜硒缺乏区,普氏原羚基本食物是高硒植物芨芨草,增加了其食物的平均硒含量,普氏原羚的主要食物是含铜量最高的紫花针茅,增加了其食物的平均铜含量。增加牧场高硒和高铜植物的比例,提高土壤牧草的硒和铜元素的含量和扩大普氏原羚的采食范围都是保护普氏原羚的主要措施。     

青藏高原东北缘放牧草地土壤矿物元素含量及分布特征

为科学评价放牧草地土壤矿物元素含量、分布特征以及对土-草-畜矿物生态系统的潜在影响,对青藏高原东北缘的4个县(天祝、大通、玛曲、若尔盖)的土壤特征和矿物元素进行分析调查。共计采集256个来自该地区不同土壤类型(高山草甸土、亚高山草甸土、沼泽土)的表层土壤样品,分析了土壤中11种矿物元素的有效含量(Ca、P、S、K、Mg、Na、Fe、Mn、Zn、Cu和Co)和2种矿物元素(Mo和Se)全部含量。分析发现,土壤中多数矿物元素含量随着地区和土壤类型的不同而表现出一定的差异性,土壤中多数矿物元素含量与土壤有机碳和全氮呈显著正相关,相反与土壤pH有一定的负相关性。土壤中矿物元素磷和镁的有效含量均低于动物可能出现缺乏的临界值,土壤中全量硒的含量严重低于动物硒缺乏的临界值。土壤中磷、镁、硒的缺乏可能会引起该地区放牧家畜该矿物元素缺乏。另外,土壤中元素铁的有效含量远高于推荐值,土壤铁的含量过高可以引起牧草中铁的含量上升,进而影响家畜对其他元素的吸收。然而,要确认家畜是否存在该类矿物元素缺乏和不平衡问题,还需要进一步分析该地区牧草和家畜组织矿物元素含量以及家畜的生产力水平。     

Delayed swayback in goat kids, a study of 23 cases

The results of a retrospective study of 23 goat kids with delayed swayback are reported. Principal clinical signs were ataxia, loss of postural control, spasticity of the hindlimbs, and muscular weakness, often progressing to permanent recumbency. Denervation of skeletal muscles was demonstrated by electromyography in 2 kids. Three kids slowly recovered during hospitalisation. Histopathological changes were characterized by degeneration of selected neuronal populations with their processes within the central and the peripheral nervous system. Affected systems included upper motor neuron, vestibular, general proprioceptive, and lower motor neuron pathways, with additional involvement of the cerebellar cortex in some animals. Our findings, including limited ultrastructural observations, support the notion that the neuraxon rather than the myelin sheath is the prime target of disease in delayed swayback. The available copper values of affected kids and their unaffected herd mates were significantly lower than those of random control goats, which provides further support for a role of copper deficiency in the aetiology of this disease in the goat.

Health and mineral nutrition status of yaks in southern Mustang,Nepal

Biochemical values and mineral concentrations in blood plasma were investigated to evaluate the statuses of health and mineral nutrition among yaks in Mustang District, Nepal. In total, 118 plasma samples of female yaks collected in April and September/October of 2013–2015 were offered. Seventy‐four percent of yaks showed lower plasma total‐cholesterol concentrations than the lowest limit of reference range (100 mg/dL) and the values in spring (83.41 mg/dL) were lower (P < 0.05) than those in autumn (95.05 mg/dL). All the yaks had lower plasma albumin concentrations than the lowest limit of reference range (3.0 g/dL) and 66% of yaks showed lower plasma inorganic phosphorus concentrations than the critical level of phosphorus deficiency (4.5 mg/dL). Thirty‐five percent of yaks showed lower plasma calcium concentrations than the lowest limit of normal range (8 mg/dL) and the concentrations were lower in spring than in autumn (P < 0.01). Seventy‐five percent of yaks presented lower copper concentrations than the critical level (0.65 mg/L) and the concentrations were lower in spring than in autumn (P < 0.01). Since the low plasma total‐cholesterol might have indicated shortage of dry matter and energy intake, attention should be paid to the nutritional statuses of energy, phosphorus, calcium and copper in winter and early spring.

Influence of age,sex and cross on body concentrations of trace elements (zinc,iron, copper and manganese) in chickens

1. Environmental problems in areas of intensive animal production necessitate new constraints in food formulation concerning nitrogen and phosphorus and also concerning trace minerals, especially zinc and copper, which are found in excess in poultry manure in relation to nitrogen and might cause phytotoxicity in soil. 2. Whole body concentrations of zinc, iron, manganese and copper were measured in chickens in order to estimate the percentage of deposition and excretion. Body concentrations were determined on 390 chicks of both sexes at different ages in 2 commercial crosses. 3. Age affected the trace element body concentration. Higher concentrations were observed at earlier ages (4 to 11 d). Sex and cross had little influence on body Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn concentration and interactions were observed between these factors. 4. Body retention percentage (% of intake) was very low when birds were fed on commercial diets and decreased with age. For the period 0 to 40 d, the percentages of retention were 6%, 10%, 0.2% and 6% for Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu, respectively, and therefore 90% to 99% was excreted. 5. These findings make it possible to calculate trace mineral excretion for various feeding systems and confirm the excess of zinc and copper in poultry manure in relation to nitrogen. A nutritional approach such as reduction in dietary trace mineral supplementation may alleviate the risks of phytotoxicity in the soil resulting from Zn and Cu excesses.     

The distribution of four trace elements (Fe,Mn, Cu,Zn) in forage and the relation to scrapie in Iceland

Background

Previous studies indicated that the iron (Fe)/manganese (Mn) ratio in forage of sheep was significantly higher on scrapie-afflicted farms than on farms in other scrapie categories. This study was conducted to examine whether Fe and Mn in forage of sheep varied in general according to the scrapie status of different areas in the country. Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) were also included because of a possible relation to scrapie.

Methods

The country was subdivided into seven Areas (I-VII). Three Areas (I, IV, VII) were designated scrapie-free (never diagnosed or eradicated) and three as scrapie-endemic (II, III, VI); status of Area V was taken as unsettled. Of the harvest 2007 1552 samples were analysed from 344 farms all over the country, mostly grass silage from plastic bales (>90%) and from the first cut (70% or more). Results were expressed as mg kg^-1 dry matter.

Results

Fe varied enormously from less than 100 mg kg^-1 to 5000 mg kg^-1. Mn varied nearly thirtyfold (17-470 mg kg^-1). Fe concentration was significantly lower in Area I than in Areas II, V and VI. Mn concentration was significantly higher in Areas I, IV and VII than in Areas II, III, V and VI. The Fe/Mn ratio was significantly less in Area I than in the other areas (except Area IV). Mean Cu concentration was 6.6-8.3 mg kg^-1 and the mean Zn concentration was 24-29 mg kg^-1. They differed significantly in some areas.

Conclusions

1) Fe tended to be in lower amounts in sheep forage in scrapie-free than in endemic areas; 2) Mn was in higher amounts in forage in scrapie-free than endemic areas; 3) the Fe/Mn ratio was lower in scrapie-free than in endemic areas; 4) the Fe/Mn ratio may possibly be used as an indicator of scrapie status; 5) Cu and Zn in sheep forage were not related to scrapie; 6) further study on the role of Fe and Mn in the occurrence of scrapie in Iceland is needed.     

乌蒙半细毛羊“锌缺乏症”的研究

试验旨在研究乌蒙半细毛羊"锌缺乏症"的病因。在赫章县兴发养殖场选取20只锌（Zn）缺乏的乌蒙半细毛羊作为试验组,在威宁县凉水沟种羊场选取20只健康的乌蒙半细毛羊作为对照组。采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法分析土壤、牧草和动物血液及肝脏中微量元素的含量,应用全自动血细胞分析仪测定血液参数,应用全自动生化分析仪测定血清生理生化指标。结果发现,试验牧场土壤及牧草中锌含量均极显著低于对照牧场（P<0.01）;试验组乌蒙半细毛羊血液和肝脏中Zn含量极显著低于对照组（P<0.01）,两组间其他元素含量均无显著差异（P>0.05）;试验组乌蒙半细毛羊血液中红细胞数（RBC）、淋巴细胞（LY）和中性粒细胞（NE）均极显著低于对照组（P<0.01）;血清中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）、乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）、碱性磷酸酶（AKP）活性均极显著低于对照组（P<0.01）,丙二醛（MDA）含量极显著高于对照组（P<0.01）,而两组间血红蛋白（Hb）、红细胞压积（PCV）、白细胞数（WBC）、血清尿素氮（BUN）含量和谷草转氨酶（AST）、谷丙转氨酶（ALT）、谷氨酰转肽酶（γ-GT）活性均无显著差异（P>0.05）。综上所述,乌蒙半细毛羊"锌缺乏症"主要由土壤和牧草锌含量过低引起,且在日粮中添加适量的硫酸锌可以防治乌蒙半细毛羊"锌缺乏症"的发生。     

Studies on rickets and osteomalacia in Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus)

Epidemiological studies have indicated incidences of 32.9% and 27.8% for rickets and osteomalacia, respectively, in Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus), but there is an increased incidence under drought conditions, sometimes reaching 75%. We have found that concentrations of phosphorus and copper in forage and soil samples in a drought affected area were significantly lower than in a control area or normal reference values (P < 0.01) ; the mean Ca:P ratio in the forages was 50:1. The phosphorus content of blood and hair from affected camels was significantly less than that in controls (P < 0.01) and concentrations of copper in the liver and kidney were significantly lower in affected camels than control animals (P < 0.01); the concentrations of triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroxine (T(4)) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the serum from affected animals were significantly higher than those from healthy controls (P < 0.01); serum inorganic phosphorus and ceruloplasmin levels were lower than those in the controls (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05); the concentrations of serum alpha-globulin and beta-globulin were significantly higher in the affected camels than in the healthy controls (P < 0.01). The pathological changes seen in camels affected with rickets included porous, brittle, light, osteoporotic bones that were susceptible to fractures and had less resistance to cutting and sawing. Wrist joints were enlarged with an apparent bowing of the long bones in forelimb and with typical broadening of the epiphyses. In adult female camels, many enlarged scars were often seen in ribs indicating earlier fractures. The disease could be cured with supplementary bone meal, phosphate or mineral mixtures and in field investigations clinical signs disappeared within 15 days. Over the same period, the concentrations of phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase in blood returned to normal. The disease may be effectively prevented by use of mineral blocks (block salt licks) or dosing orally with copper, selenium and cobalt soluble glass boluses. We conclude that rickets and osteomalacia are mainly caused by phosphorus and copper deficiencies in the pasture.     

Mineral Status and Interrelationship in Soil,Forage, and Blood Serum of Horses in the Rainy and Dry Seasons

The objective was to evaluate the content of P, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Cu, Fe, Zn, Se, and Mn in soil, forage, and serum of horses in several production units (PU) during rainy and dry seasons and predict their concentration in serum from their content in soil and forage. Soil and pastures were sampled in the dry (November–December) and in rainy seasons (June–July), and blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 76 horses in both seasons at four PU. The experimental design was a completely random design within a 4 × 2 (PU × season) factorial arrangement of treatments. Concentration of minerals in soil differed (P < .05) among PU, and contents of P, Ca, Mg, and K were low; Zn and Fe were high; and Cu and Mn were adequate. Mineral concentrations in forage differed among PU and season, and among PU within season (interaction P < .05). Contents of Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, and Cu were low; Fe was high; and P, K, Se, and Mn adequate. The mineral concentration in equine blood serum differed (P < .05) among PU and season. Overall, there were deficiencies of P, Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, and Se, but adequate amounts of K, Zn, and Fe. There are imbalances of minerals in soil and forages which effected their concentration inequine blood.
