SUMMARY Calves were dosed with 50 g of copper oxide granules orally or given 120 mg copper glycinate subcutaneously. There was no significant difference between the weights of calves given either treatment during the trial. However, the copper oxide treatment resulted in sustained higher concentration of plasma copper and higher liver reserves than the glycinate treatment.
