Description: Answers the question of why chronic copper poisoning (CCP) occurs.
Chronic Copper Poisoning in Sheep Chronic Copper Poisoning in Sheep How does chronic copper poisoning (CCP) occur? Sheep are the domestic animal most prone to CCP. They absorb copper from the diet in proportion to the amount of copper offered, not to the bodyÂ’s need as with the absorption of other minerals. Any excess absorbed copper is stored in the cells of the liver, eventually reaching toxic levels. Levels in the liver above 500 ppm dry weight are usually considered toxic. This storage in the liver can take months or even years to reach a toxic level. The elimination of copper from the body through the kidneys is slow.
