| Abstract | Examples of the first function would be the presence of silicon as a component of the organic matrix of bone and the role of zinc as a part of the DNA molecule. Examples of enzymes in which trace elements are components or cofactors are cytochrome oxidase (Fe) and superoxide dismutase (Mn, Cu, and Zn). Fifteen trace elements have been reported to be essential for the growth and health of animals: arsenic, cobalt, copper, chromium, fluorine, iodine, iron, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, vanadium, and copper. Although a deficiency of many of these elements has been demonstrated only under rigidly controlled laboratory conditions, deficiencies of copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc have been reported to occur in domestic animals and humans under natural conditions (1). |
