I've heard that about copper but I wasn't willing to do a biopsy unless a vet highly suggests it. I strategically picked 2 sets of twins for the samples to try and get a herd baseline, so for everyone to come back zinc deficient it makes sense to me that it's true. I did see from the lab that samples should be spun and separated prior to shipping because zinc can leach from the test tube stoppers. I reached out to a vet and they said my area is known for zinc deficiency, and I believe she said zinc isn't stored in the body. She's considering having me give Huck something to bind the copper because of his very poor coat, which might be the zinc deficiency or a sign of copper toxicity.
