Post-mortem appearance, diagnosis and treatment of molybdenum toxicity in animals

Molybdenum and copper are antagonistic to one another. Intake of Sulphur and molybdenum in excess leads to copper insufficiency. A compound made of copper sulphate and sodium molybdenum precipitates from a neutral solution. Because copper is biologically inaccessible when bound in a Cu-Mo complex, an animal may also contain such a complex.
