Abstract
Nine crossbred barrows were orally dosed with 2 millicuries of Cu64 labelled cupric carbonate, cupric oxide, or cupric sulfate. In a second trial the same barrows received a different source of copper. There were no significant differences found in blood or plasma concentration or total fecal output of Cu64. There was a greater (P<0.01) amount of copper carbonate excreted via the urine than of copper oxide or copper sulfate. The availabilities of the three forms of inorganic copper compounds for swine were similar.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
