ABSTRACT

Copper (Cu) is an essential element in animal nutrition. There are different clinical signs associated to Cu deficiencies in ruminants. Diagnosis of Cu deficiencies in ruminants is based on blood plasma- or hepatic concentrations of this trace element. However, determining Cu in the liver is technically difficult. Another method for assessing hypocuprosis is the determination of ceruloplasmin (Cp) in plasma. Updated concepts about Cu deficiency diagnosis in ruminants are described. Research should be directed towards new diagnosis methods for hypocuprosis.
