Composition of Feedstuffs and
Animal Tissues
With Reference to
Nutritional Status of Cattle on
Sauvie Island, Oregon

Miscellaneous Paper 16
June 1955
The accompanying tables were compiled from data on file in the Department of Agricultural Chemistry. The copper and molybdenum analyses on liver
were made by Washington State College. Mr. R. G. Sprowls and Mr. J. R. Stegmuller were most helpful in the preparation of the tabular material. This
report covers over 700 entries.
The analytical data are assembled in four tables. Table 1 deals with
the composition of pasture herbage, hays, grain mixtures, and miscellaneous
feedstuffs. Table 2 deals with forage as it went into silos and with the
finished silages. Table 3 deals with the composition of blood with special
reference to the copper content of blood plasma. Table 4 is adapted from
copper and molybdenum analyses of liver as reported by Washington State
College. Copper values in Table 4 are reported as p.p.m. in dry liver.
The variations in the composition of feedstuffs are such as one might
expect to encounter in almost any community. They reflect the kind of
feedstuff, the influence of climatic and soil conditions, stage of maturity,
and numerous management practices. The composition of forages is peculiarly
susceptible to the variations just mentioned.
The protein, calcium, and phosphorus contents in Table 1 for the most
part fall within normal limits. The protein contents in Table 2 very largely
reflect stages of maturity. It is evident that silage is often made from
forages which are too mature even for good hay.
If one considers 0.06 p.p.m. cobalt as marginal, it is evident that only
scattered samples in Table 1 fall below this limit. Cobalt deficiency under
practical conditions might be expected only in those instances where animals
are confined for considerable periods to forages with these lower values.
The copper and molybdenum values in Table 1 (forages) very largely fall
within normal limits. Since Table 3 (bloods) and Table 4 (livers) contain a
considerable number of marginal to low copper values, it appears that some
factor may be interfering with proper copper utilization. It is unfortunate
that circumstances did not permit a more extensive study of beef cattle confined
to limited areas on locally grown feedstuffs. It should be noted that a portion
of the feedstuffs including minerals as supplements or in concentrate-grain
mixes utilized by the commercial dairy herds were not locally-produced. In an
operation in which only locally-produced feedstuffs are utilized, low copper
could be a more important factor in animal health.
Addendum: A pertinent reference for a literature review (containing 828 references):

and Plants," Physiological Reviews 32, 66, 1952.
