| Abstract: | Background Previous studies indicated that the iron (Fe)/manganese (Mn) ratio in forage of sheep was significantly higher on scrapie-afflicted
farms than on farms in other scrapie categories. This study was conducted to examine whether Fe and Mn in forage of sheep
varied in general according to the scrapie status of different areas in the country. Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) were also included
because of a possible relation to scrapie. |
