	abstract = {Twelve Romney wether lambs, average weight 28kg, were randomly   divided into two groups, namely an untreated control and an Fe treated   group. All animals were grazed together on a ryegrass/white clover   pasture for 12 weeks. The Fe intake of the control animals was   estimated to be 247 mg/day while that for the treated animals was 827   mg/day with the extra Fe (FeSO4.7H2O) given orally in a gelatin capsule.     Increasing the Fe intake had no effect on DM intake or growth rates but   significantly (P<0.05) increased the Fe content of the lungs, spleen and   digestive tract. No other changes in Fe concentrations were found in   the other soft tissues or bone.     There was a marked decrease [50\%] in the Cu content of the liver (a   major storage organ for Cu) when the Fe treated lambs were compared with   the control animals. The fact that a moderate increase in the intake of   Fe can markedly reduce the Cu status of lambs may be a more important   finding than has been previously realised.    },
