Human Trace Element Need
In Diets Not Fully Defined
Man be the most poorly
nourished creature in the animal
kingdom, a scientist from Penn
State observed recently.
The problem may arise with
levels of minerals elements in
human foods, stated Dr. Roland
M. Leach at a meeting of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science held in
Philadelphia
Recommended daily mineral
allowances for human diets have
been established only for iron,
Leach pointed out. In contrast,
the nutritional requirements of
animals such as swine and
poultry, laboratory animals, and
pets are known and their food is
formulated to meet their needs.
On the basis of studies to date,
Leach questioned whether trace
elements such as iron, copper,
zinc, manganese, selenium, and
chromium may be deficient in
human diets. Involved in
numerous studies of trace
elements, he addressed the AAAS
meetings as associate professor
of poultry science at Penn State.
He listed three factors that
could reduce the availability of
trace elements in food: (1) A shift
from a soil-plant-animal-man
food chain to the more direct
route of soil-plant-man food
chain, (2) removal of trace
elements through refining,
already a problem, and (3) the
chemical form m which the
element is presented. As an
example of the latter, the forms
of iron used to fortify foods have
very poor biological availability,
according to recent experiments.
He claimed the proposed
widespread use of plant protein
concentrates for human diets is a
matter for concern. While plants
may prove to be excellent
sources of vital protein,' trace
elements in these food products
may be poorly utilized by the
human digestive system.
Experiments with animals
Bb
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 5,1972
have demonstrated that phytic
acid—common to plants—is the
primary factor responsible for
poor availability of trace
elements in plant products. Zinc
is the element most severely af
fected by phytic acid. There is
some evidence that manganese,
iron, and copper may be affected
similarly, Leach said.
Three techniques are
available, he claimed, to correct
trace element shortages caused
by phytic acid The first is to
develop plants free of phytic acid
through genetic selection. The
second mehtod is to increase the
natural trace element levels in
plants through fertilization and
breeding. The third possibility is
to fortify diets, as now done with
iron.
Trace element deficiencies or
imbalances can also be induced,

Sweet Bulky
Means More Milk!
Let's face it Milk cow rations aren't always
the most appetizing. Even though properly
supplemented nutritionally, the ingredients
are concentrated to get profitable milk pro
duction. Boost milk output, pep up appetites,
add variety and tempting tastiness with
Wayne Sweet Bulky. Sweet with molasses,
bulky with beet pulp, it's fed mixed, top-fed
or straight (for cows on high-quality, high
protein legume roughages). Great as a dry
cow or heifer conditioner. Does a good low
cost job when hot weather dulls appetites or
pastures dry up.
Feed for the difference innovations make

he observed, by introducing toxic
quantities of mineral elements
into the food chain. Heavy metals
such as cadmium, lead, and
mercury—applied to the soil
from sewage sludge and animal
wastes—could possibly interfere
with the soil-plant-man trace
element food chain

Motor-vehicle accidents are
one of the major causes of death
and injury to agricultural
workers An important aid to
accident prevention on public
roads is use of the slow-moving
vehicle emblem on vehicles
designed to travel at 25 m p h or
less, says the National Safety
Council. The Williams-Steiger
Occupational Safety and Health
Act requires the use of the em
blem on all such vehicles
operated by farm or ranch em
ployees.
