I ve heard about copper poisoning, how do I avoid it?
• Avoid using beef or dairy rations/minerals. Use only sheep rations. • Do not use any copper in the mineral, unless there is evidence of copper deficiency, or effective copper deficiency (too high molybdenum). • Avoid grazing/haying land that has been fertilised with hog manure. Hog feed and manure are extremely high in copper. • Avoid copper piping. • Test feeds for copper level, and ensure the overall diet is 7 to 11 ppm copper.
