Target Information
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace mineral vital for the health of all animals, playing a key role in metabolic function, enzyme activity, and the formation of red blood cells. Animals require it in their diet, and feed is often supplemented with copper. However, an excess of copper can be highly toxic, especially to some species like sheep, which are particularly susceptible to copper poisoning. Over-supplementation or grazing on copper-rich pastures can lead to the accumulation of copper in the liver, causing severe illness or death. While copper is not typically a significant food safety concern for humans consuming meat or milk, a high level of copper in animal products could indicate improper animal husbandry or environmental contamination.
