Trace Element Deficiency

The level of 10 trace elements (As, Br, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Se, Zn) in infant tissues (5 cot deaths, 4 other causes) are presented. These levels are compared with the normal adult levels for the same area or with the levels presented in the literature. The concentrations of 5 trace elements (As, Cu, Hg, Mn, Se) in human milk and 4 brands of artificial milks are also given and the intake of these trace elements from human and artificial milk for infants up to the age of 6 months is calculated. It is concluded that some artificial milks contain less of some essential trace elements (e.g. Cu and Se) and are richer in toxic trace elements (e.g. Hg and As). The suggestion of deficiency of the reported trace elements as a cause of cot deaths is rejected.

• Vitamin deficiency 58• Mineral deficiency 61• Trace element deficiency 62• Vitamin supplementation for infants and young children 64The term ‘micronutrients’ includes two main classes of nutrient substances required in the diet in very small amounts: the essential organic micronutrients (vitamins) and the essential inorganic micronutrients (trace elements). Vitamin and mineral deficiencies may complicate malnutrition arising from underlying disease or inadequate diet. Key features are given below. However, micronutrients have wide-ranging effects, far beyond the simple prevention of deficiency states....

Ruminant Livestock

Oral treatment of trace element deficiencies of livestock has a long although not always distinguished history. It has generally been the method first employed following the discovery of a trace element deficiency. Thus, Robert Fraser (1794) used oral dosing with soil to counteract the effects of cobalt (Co) deficiency in sheep; Hunter, Eden and Green (1945) dosed ewes with copper (Cu) for the control of swayback; McLean, Thomson and Claxton (1959) obtained significant growth responses following selenium (Se) supplementation of unthrifty lambs and Dynna and Havre (1963) used oral dosing with zinc (Zn) as part of the treatment of cattle suffering from a combined Zn-Cu deficiency in Northern Norway.

Underlying Mechanisms

The connection between trace element deficiencies and specific animal diseases, such as white muscle disease and swayback, has long been recognized, but the nature of the underlying mechanisms and the consequences of subclinical deficiency are only just beginning to be understood. This article considers the dietary significance of copper, selenium, cobalt, and iodine in ruminants, and concludes with a review of practical methods for preventing or correcting deficiencies.
