Abstract - In this review is presented the problem of copper in the feed of dairy cows. The author describes briefly feed sources and contamination risks, gives an evaluation of nutrional need and a view of metabolism of copper in the animal. Biological and biochemical importance is pointed out, also pathological and accidental variations. These nutritional facts encouraged the author to recommand a greatest copper intake of dairy cattle for a better productivity of the animals.
