A trial was conducted on Merino sheep grazing native pastures on soils considered deficient in Se, Cu and Co, unless fertilized. While supplementation demonstrated a deficiency of Se, a single treatment had little effect on mortality or growth over 5 months. Cu or Co supplements failed to give a positive response. The results demonstrated the difficulties of diagnosis of marginal deficiencies of trace elements.
