Diagnosis of Molybdenum Poisoning

Primary copper deficiency must always be ruled out. In molybdenum toxicity, low copper levels in blood and tissue and the occurrence of clinical signs of copper deficiency in cattle are poorly correlated. In areas with high levels of molybdenum, a provisional diagnosis of molybdenosis can be made if the diarrhea stops within a few days of oral dosing with copper sulfate. The diagnosis is further supported if other causes of diarrhea and unthriftiness (including GI parasites) are ruled out. Diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating abnormal concentrations of molybdenum and copper in blood or liver and by a high dietary intake of molybdenum relative to copper.
