                                Excessive dietary intake of molybdenum is documented to produce severe copper deficiency in ruminant animals, a phenomenon observed worldwide known as molybdenosis or "teart". This potent mineral antagonism is a complex biochemical process with profound implications for both animal and, under specific conditions, human health, affecting how the body absorbs and utilizes these vital trace minerals.
