Copper toxicity in sheep may result from an imbalance of copper, molybdenum and sulfate in the diet. This was found to be the cause of losses in sheep on confinement feeding in Iowa. Complete feeds containing added copper at levels of 30-35 ppm but no added molybdenum caused storage of excess copper in the liver, resulting in hemolytic crisis and death. It is recommended that the federal FDA regulations be amended to recognize molybdenum as a safe and necessary additive in conjunction with added copper in animal feeds. 16 references, 2 tables.
