[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1565194, member: 12607"] What Jeanne said... Liver biopsy (or liver sample from one that died on-farm, or was sent to slaughter). Blood tests for some minerals are OK... but for many important ones, like copper... until liver stores are completely GONE, blood levels will be within the normal range; blood test doesn't really give you the 'real story'. Michigan St. U. Vet. Diagnostic lab (Cornell is probably comparable, sheep/goat folks really like Washington St.) is where I usually recommended our clients send liver samples for analysis... seems like it was about $50.
