The susceptibility of milk to copper-induced or accelerated off-flavors is well known. Other animal products, including meats have not been so extensively studied. In this study different species of animals (pigs, calves, lambs and rabbits) were fed on normal rations with and without supplements of copper sulfate. During the course...
The effects of different levels of copper in the diet on growth
rates, blood and liver copper concentrations, hemoglobin levels,
and cytochrome c oxidase activities were determined in the cotton
rat. The response of the cotton rat to different levels of copper was
analagous to that of the common laboratory...
An extensive review of the literature dealing with the role of
copper in nutrition has been made; much emphasis has particularly
been placed upon some of the "comparative" aspects of copper metabolism
in various species.
A study of the comparative copper metabolism of three strains
of rats and of golden...
