Extract

No reliable statistics are available from which to assess the economic losses caused annually in the UK or elsewhere by trace element deficiency diseases in farm livestock. However, data such as those provided by the Veterinary Investigation Diagnosis Analysis Service or by annual FAO/WHO Reports on Animal Health clearly indicate that, in many instances, the circumstances leading to the development of trace element deficiency diseases are neither effectively recognized nor anticipated.
