The objective of this study was to compare concentrations of copper and zinc in soil, pasture sward and blood plasma of extensive reared Aberdeen Angus bulls and heifers on a farm in the foothills of the Orlicke Mountains. We sampled soil, pasture sward from pasture areas and blood from 22 bulls and 22 heifers in the period from birth to weaning at regular intervals (81, 151, 189 and 273 days of age). Concentrations of copper and zinc were analysed. Significant relationships (p < 0.05) was noted between soil and pasture copper concentrations (r = 0.74), pasture and blood plasma copper concentration (r = 0.29). No other significant correlation between monitored parameters was found. The indicators determined in this study can be used to specify the health and nutritional status of animals reared in the extensive suckling cows systems more detailed.

Celem pracy było porównanie stężenia miedzi i cynku w glebie, runi pastwiskowej oraz osoczu krwi buhajów i jałówek rasy Aberdeen Angus, hodowanych w gospodarstwie u podnóża Gór Orlickich. Badano glebę, murawę pastwisk oraz krew 22 byków i 22 jałówek w okresie od urodzenia do odsadzenia w regularnych odstępach czasu (81, 151, 189 i 273 dni życia). W pobranych próbkach oznaczono stężenie miedzi i cynku. Istotne korelacje (p < 0,05) zaobserwowano pomiędzy stężeniem miedzi w glebie i w paszy (r = 0,74) oraz w paszy i w osoczu krwi (r = 0,29). Nie stwierdzono żadnych innych istotnych korelacji pomiędzy monitorowanymi parametrami. Parametry określone w tym opracowaniu mogą być używane do bardziej szczegółowego określenia stanu zdrowia i odżywienia zwierząt hodowanych.
