Clinical cases of both Zn and Cu deficiencies are reported in a cattle farm in Kordofan Region of the Sudan after drought. The animals showed general weakness, stunted growth, infertility, parakeratosis and achromotrichia. There was macrocytic hypochromic anaemia and low Cu and Zn concentrations in sera. The condition was more prevalent in zebu-Friesian crosses than the local breeds. Drought and marginal or low Cu and Zn content in pasture may be the predisposing factors.
苏丹科尔多凡地区一个养牛场在干旱后报告了锌和铜缺乏的临床病例。这些动物表现出全身虚弱、生长发育迟缓、不育、角化不全和脱毛。出现了大细胞低色素性贫血,血清中铜和锌浓度较低。这种情况在瘤牛-弗里斯兰杂交品种中比当地品种更普遍。干旱以及牧场中铜和锌含量处于临界水平或较低可能是诱发因素。
