Chronic Copper Poisoning in Sheep. III. The Distribution of Soluble Copper‐ and Zinc‐binding Liver Proteins of Lambs compared with Adult Sheep

Abstract
The distribution of Cu and Zn among soluble hepatic proteins in lambs from 1 normal and 1 Cu dosed ewe was studied by gel filtration. The distribution pattern is similar in newborn lambs and their dams. The amount of Cu in the liver indicated that a placental transfer and accumulation of Cu is possible in lambs.
