Kumssa, D. B., Mossa, A. W., Amede, T., Ander, E. L., Bailey, E. H., Botoman, L., …Nalivata, P. C. (2022). Cereal grain mineral micronutrient and soil chemistry data from GeoNutrition surveys in Ethiopia and Malawi

The dataset comprises primary data for the concentration of 29 mineral micronutrients in cereal grains and up to 84 soil chemistry properties from GeoNutrition project surveys in Ethiopia and Malawi. The work provided insights on geospatial variation... Read More about Cereal grain mineral micronutrient and soil chemistry data from GeoNutrition surveys in Ethiopia and Malawi.

Selenium Concentration in Cattle Serum and Fodder from Two Areas in Ethiopia with Contrasting Human Selenium Concentration (2022)
Journal Article
Hailu, K., Gashu, D., Joy, E. J. M., Alonso, S., Gizaw, S., Gameda, S., …Broadley, M. R. (2022). Selenium Concentration in Cattle Serum and Fodder from Two Areas in Ethiopia with Contrasting Human Selenium Concentration. Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 27(7), Article 200. https://doi.org/10.31083/j.fbl2707200

INTRODUCTION: Selenium (Se) is an essential mineral for livestock health and productivity. In cattle, Se deficiency is associated with delayed conception, growth retardation, and increased morbidity and mortality. METHODS: We conducted a survey of ca...

Magnesium biofortification of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) via agronomy and breeding as a potential way to reduce grass tetany in grazing ruminants (2019)
Journal Article
Kumssa, D. B., Lovatt, J. A., Graham, N. S., Palmer, S., Hayden, R., Wilson, L., …Broadley, M. R. (2020). Magnesium biofortification of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) via agronomy and breeding as a potential way to reduce grass tetany in grazing ruminants. Plant and Soil, 457, 25–41. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-019-04337-x

© 2019, The Author(s). Aim: Magnesium (Mg) deficiency (known as grass tetany) is a serious metabolic disorder that affects grazing ruminants. We tested whether Mg-fertiliser can increase Mg concentration of Italian ryegrasses (Lolium multiflorum L.)...

A reconnaissance survey of farmers’ awareness of hypomagnesaemic tetany in UK cattle and sheep farms (2019)
Journal Article
Kumssa, D. B., Penrose, B., Bone, P. A., Lovatt, A., Broadley, M. R., Kendall, N. R., & Ander, L. (2019). A reconnaissance survey of farmers’ awareness of hypomagnesaemic tetany in UK cattle and sheep farms. PLoS ONE, 14(10), Article e022386. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0223868

Hypomagnesaemic tetany (HypoMgT) in ruminants is a physiological disorder caused by inadequate intake or impaired absorption of magnesium (Mg) in the gut. If it is not detected and treated in time, HypoMgT can cause the death of the affected animal....

Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent (2015)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J. M., Kumssa, D. B., Joy, E. J., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., Young, S. D., …Broadley, M. R. (2015). Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent. Scientific Reports, 5(1), Article 10974. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep10974

Globally, more than 800 million people are undernourished while >2 billion people have one or more chronic micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs). More than 6% of global mortality and morbidity burdens are associated with undernourishment and MNDs. Here w...
