The current contribution reviews absorption and metabolism of copper (Cu), Cu deficiency,
Cu toxicity, Cu bioavailability, and effects of pharmacological levels of Cu on growth …

Restrictions on antibiotic growth promoters have prompted livestock producers to use
alternative growth promoters, and dietary copper (Cu) supplementation is currently being …

A 42-d experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Cu and Zn source and Cu level
on pig performance, mineral status, bacterial modulation, and the presence of antimicrobial …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two Zn supplemented levels and
two Zn and Cu sources (sulphate and hydroxychloride) on growing‐finishing pigs. An in vitro …

An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that inclusion of Cu oxide (Cu2O) in
diets for growing–finishing pigs improves body weight (BW) and bone mineralization, and …

The beneficial effect of elevated concentrations of copper (Cu) on growth performance of
pigs has been already demonstrated; however, their mechanism of action is not fully …

In poultry diets, copper is an essential nutrient that is critical for various physiological
functions. Although copper sulfate is commonly used due to its cost-effectiveness, organic …

This study was conducted to determine relative bioavailability (RBV) of basic zinc chloride
(BZC) compared to zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZSM) for broilers. A randomized design …

Objective The objective of this experiment was to compare the effects of adding 130 mg/kg
Cu from either copper sulfate (CS) or tribasic copper chloride (TBCC) on growth …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the long-term effects of feeding increasing
supplemental levels (20, 120, or 220 mg/kg) of dietary copper (Cu) as tribasic copper …
