Copper deficiency in cattle
Copper is an essential trace element that supports body and bone development, hair and wool pigmentation, healthy nerve fibres and normal white blood cell function. Copper deficiency is particularly common in cattle grazing rapidly growing spring grass.
Signs of copper deficiency can include:
• Loss of hair pigmentation, especially around the eyes, creating a distinctive “spectacle” appearance
• Chronic lameness
• Falling disease, which can result in sudden heart failure and death
