Copper, apart from being a catalyst necessary for the absorption of iron into haemoglobin, participates in the processes of pigmentation and keratinization of hair. It is a structural component of certain proteins and an activator of various enzymes. It is also essential for the proper development and function of rumen micro-organisms.
Any or several of the following symptoms are common when the diet of cattle is deficient in copper:
• Rapid loss in livemass
• Anaemia

• Hair discoloration
• Diarrhoea
