Abstract: | Changes in blood copper and serum enzyme levels following copper calcium complex of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid administration were studied in ewes in 3 hill flocks of low copper status and with a history of swayback. Blood copper levels increased within a few hours of injection in all the sheep and in some animals from 2 flocks there was a release of liver-specific enzymes into the blood 24 to 48 hours after dosing. Three animals died within 36 hours of injection. |
