Additionally, it discusses the symptoms of dietary excesses of certain inorganic elements, such as excessive copper intake. The information is adapted from the National Research Council's 1979 publication "Nutrient Requirements of Swine." The chapter is issued in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture and is an equal opportunity institution.The chapter "Nutrient Requirements of Swine" by John C. Rea and Trygve L.
