Manganese Manganese (Mn) is a steel gray lustrous metal that is hard and brittle. In chemical properties it is similar to iron; its two most important valence states in biological systems are I! and III. Manganese con- stitutes 0.10 percent of the earth's crust and is the twelfth most abundant element. The most important manganese ore is pyrolusite; however, manganese occurs in hausmann~te, manganite, manganosite, and braun~te. Manganese is an important component of metallic nodules that are found on the ocean floors. Manganese is used in the manufacture of steel, cast iron, alloys of copper and aluminum, pig- ments for glass and ceramics, dry cell battenes, and a evade range of chemicals. In 1970, the tons of manganese ore (at least 35 percent manganese) used in the United States were as follows: manganese alloys and metals, 2,099,426; pig iron and steel, 107,733; and dry cells, chemicals, and miscellaneous, 156,778 (National Research Council, 19731. Since animals and plants require manganese, it is incorporated into poultry and livestock feeds and frequently into fertilizers. Reviews cover venous aspects of manganese function, metabolism, toxicity, and uses (National Research Council, 1973; Leach, 1974, 1976; HurIey, 1976; Matrone et al., 1977; Underwood, 1977; and Leach and Lilburn, 1978~. ESSENTIALITY Manganese was first recognized as an essential nutrient for animals when it was shown to be required for growth and reproduction in rats 290

Manganese 291 and mice (Kemmerer et al., 1931; Orent and McCollum, 1931~. The principal signs of manganese deficiency in severe species include reduced growth rate, skeletal abnormalities, abnormal reproductive function in males and females, and atax~a in the newborn. A suscepti- bility to convulsions has been observed in manganese deficient guinea pigs. Righting ability was related to abnormal otoliths, resulting from defective bone formation. The manganese requirements vary considerably between species. In terms of dietary concentration (ppm), the requirements of young ani- mals have been estimated as follows: dog, 4.5; rabbit, S.5; pig, 4; calf, 40; sheep, 30; rat, 50; chick, 55, and turkey, 55. METABOLISM Manganese is absorbed throughout the intestinal tract. The homeo- static mechanism for regulating tissue levels involves the excretion of manganese via bile and the intestine. The details of these processes are not understood. Manganese absorption is decreased by feeding isolated soy protein or excess levels of calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The movement of manganese within the body is highly specific for the element. Biogenic amities can influence the metabolism of manganese, apparently by effects of cyclic AMP. Ike bone defects associated with manganese deficiency appear to be related to chondrogenesis rather than osteogenesis. Manganese is the preferred metal cofactor for a group of glucosy! transferases involved in mucopolysacchande synthesis. There is evidence that manganese functions in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and in the metabolism of the brain. The mitochondria generally contain high concentrations of manganese. Pyruvate carboxylase and superoxide dismutase are two important metalloenzymes that contain manganese. SOURCES Underwood (1977) reviewed information on manganese content of forage and other plant sources. The manganese concentration can vary widely in relation to species, variety, type of soil, and manganese concentration in the soil. Typical values for various grasses, clover, etc., ranged from 60 to more than 800 ppm on a dry basis. As with many other elements, whole seeds contain significant concentrations of manganese (Schroeder e! al., 1966~; however, refining processes

292 MINERAL TOLERANCE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS remove much of the element. Typical values for whole cereal grains are 3~50 ppm and 3~0 ppm for soybean meal. Protein supplements obtained from animal sources are generally low in manganese, approxi- mately 5-15 ppm. The manganese content of surface waters collected at 140 U.S. sampling stations averaged 29.4 ppb between 1957 and 1969 (National Research Council, 1974~. Minimum and maximum values were 0.20 and 3,230 ppb, and the mean was 29.4 ppb. Consumption of surface water by domestic animals would not contribute significantly on the average to the requirement; however, consumption of water containing the maximum manganese content could supply 300 600 percent of the requirement of cattle. The estimated maximum amount for swine was 20~0 percent of requirement, and for poultry the amount was negligible. Ammerman and Miller (1972) reviewed information on bioavailability of manganese from venous concentrated forms. Data with chicks showed that feeding reagent grade chemicals resulted in equal bioavail- ability of manganese from the sulfate, chloride, carbonate, and dioxide. Manganous oxide and manganous sulfate are the two most commonly used forms in animal feeds. The sulfate is used when greater ease of solubility is important. TOXICOSIS The manganese requirements of the common domestic animals and fowl range from 20 to 55 ppm in the diet. The effects in five species of animals continuously fed excess levels of dietary manganese, ranging from 35 to 7,586 ppm, are summarized in Table 23. Data for some of the same and three additional species appear at the end of the table. For these, the experimental conditions differed from the bulk of available data. The basal diets fed to the animals were generally adequate but vaned greatly in concentration of essential nutrients, other compo- nents, and even in manganese content. Measurements of varying sensi- tivity have been used to detect adverse effects; however, the most common has been growth of young animals LOW LEVELS The data in Table 23 show that feeding excess manganese at levels as high as 1,000 ppm produced a serious health problem in only 1 of 21 experimental groups, including several species. In one study, pigs fed .

Manganese 293 500 ppm manganese exhibited retarded growth, limb stiffness, and a stilted gait (Grummer et al., 19501. It is possible that these adverse responses may have been related to other components of the manga- nese source, which contained 65 percent manganous sulfate, or to the composition of the diet. Similarly severe effects were not observed by other workers in pigs fed higher manganese levels. Metabolic deviations from control animals have been shown with fairly low levels of excess manganese. These include slightly decreased copper absorption by the calf fed 50 ppm manganese above 12 ppm in the basal diet (Ivan and Grieve, 1976) and negative calcium balance during early lactation in cows fed70 ppm manganese (Reid et al., 1947~. Increased fecal phosphorus was observed without other changes. The observations at these levels of manganese, 1,000 ppm or less, were made with the rat, calf, cow, poultry, and pig. A few experiments were long-term, including egg production of chickens and reproduction in mammals. Similar effects were observed in sheep fed sequentially increasing amounts of manganese up to 2,500 ppm manganese (Hart- man et al., 1955~. HIGH LEVELS Beginning around 2,000 ppm excess manganese, significant adverse health effects, such as growth depression, were observed in some experiments. These and higher levels of manganese caused some mor- tality and decreased levels of hemoglobin. It is remarkable that in a Midday study with rats growth and reproduction were normal with 4,990 ppm manganese, and only growth was adversely affected at 9,980 ppm manganese. Otherwise, 4,080 ppm manganese fed to poults is the highest level that had no effect on growth (Vohra and Kratzer, 1968~. Effects of dietary manganese between 1,000 and 2,000 ppm have not been studied. Cunningham et al. (1966) investigated the effect of feeding 5,000 ppm manganese to a rumen-fistulated cow. The manganese produced a marked change in rumen bacterial species. The in vitro production of propionic and total volatile fatty acids was depressed in flasks innocu- lated with flora from the manganese-fed cow as compared with a cow fed the basal diet. The suppressive effects of manganese added in vitro were also greater with the innoculum from the manganese-fed cow. These data suggest that at least part of the adverse effects of excess manganese fed to ruminants is due to effects on the rumen microflora. Intubation of guinea pigs with a high daily dose of manganese, 4.37 mg/kg of body weight, produced some mortality and lesions of the

294 MINERAL TOLERANCE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS gastrointestinal tract of survivors (Chandra and Imam, 1973~. The lowest published lethal dose of manganese, as the sulfate, was 1X2 mg/kg for hamsters (Fairchild et al., 1977~. Young rabbits that were given large daily doses of manganese in choking water lost weight and developed a transient paralysis and prolonged anesthesia of the ex- tremities (Uma~i e! al., 19691- It is surprising that neurological damage, which occurs in humans exposed to airborne manganese dusts such as ores, has not been observed more frequently in animals. FACTORS INFLUENCING TOXICITY As noted above, excess manganese affected the metabolism of several elements. Generally a mineral antagonism is characterized by re- ciprocal effects: i.e., a deficiency of the second or antagonized element enhances the toxicity of the first element, and, conversely, an excess of the second element protects against toxicity of the first. The primary antagonism of importance in manganese toxicity is the effect on iron. Low hemoglobin levels were found by several workers in animals fed excess manganese (Table 23~. This anemia was accom- panied by low levels of tissue iron and elevated levels of liver copper (Hartman et al., 19551. Matrone et al. (1959) showed that excess manganese interfered troth hemoglobin regeneration in rabbits and baby pigs. Data from two experiments suggested that the minimal level of excess manganese to depress hemoglobin regeneration in baby pigs was 125 ppm manganese or less. A supplement of 400 ppm iron in the diet completely counteracted the effect of 2,000 ppm manganese in de- pressing hemoglobin regeneration in baby pigs. Chandra and Tandon (1973) found that iron deficiency in rats increased manganese levels and pathology in the liver and kidneys when excess manganese was given orally. With 14,000 ppm excess manganese in the diet of rats, Diez-Ewald et al. (1968) observed decreased liver iron stores and increased absorption of iron; however, they also found blood loss into the gastrointestinal tract. Under more physiological conditions, increased manganese absorption has been reported in iron deficiency (Borg and Cotzias, 1958; PolIack e' al., 1965; Diez-EwaId et al., 1968). Thomson and Valberg (1972) showed that iron and manganese each interfered with the absorption of the other from perfusate in open-ended duodenal loops of iron-deficient rats. There is evidence that manganese can be incorporated in viva into the porphyrin of red blood cells under condi- tions of iron deficiency (Borg and Cotzias, 1958~. These diverse studies demonstrate the importance of iron status in

Manganese 295 modifying manganese toxicity. Much remains to be learned about the nature of the interactions and the practical relation of iron status, rang- ing from deficiency to excess, in defining resistance to the spectrum of excess manganese intakes. The effect of supplemental form on toxicity has not been systemati- cally investigated; however, it appears that inorganic salts have similar effects. Abnormalities of reproduction in dairy cattle have been associ- ated with 200 ppm or higher concentrations of manganese in forages of Costa Rica (Fonseca and Davis, 1969~. Tentatively, 100 ppm or more of manganese in forage was designated as high. The toxicity of manganese in forage merits detailed study. TISSUE LEVELS Underwood (1971, 1977) reviewed data on concentrations of manga- nese in animal tissues. The liver and pituitary contain the highest concentrations, each with approximately 2.5 ppm. Me manganese in hair, wool, and feathers reflects dietary levels from deficiency to excess In a more sensitive manner than organs or internal tissues. Feeding manganese in the diet of laying hens at 13 and 1,000 ppm resulted in total egg yolk values of 4 and 33 ,ug, respectively. In general, tissue manganese remains relatively constant over a wide range of intakes (Cotzias, 19581. The efficient homeostatic mechanisms for eliminating excess manganese from the body would seem to preclude significant accumulation in tissues of domestic animals (Watson et al., 1973~. Doyle and Spaulding (1978) have summarized the data on manganese content in liver, kidney, heart, and muscle in normal cattle, sheep, swine, and chickens. MAXIMUM TOLERABLE LEVELS Levels of 1,000 ppm manganese produced some metabolic deviations from normal but almost no effects on growth or other indications of toxicosis in most experiments. Whether the metabolic changes would become threats to health on a long-term basis would probably depend on the diet composition, age, or physiological status of the animal and on the mechanism of the adverse eject. The data with iron deficiency show clearly that small amounts of excess manganese, as low as 12S ppm, are undesirable. Most studies of manganese toxicity were camed out with stack diets. Whereas these

OCR for page 296
296 MINERAL TOLERANCE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS have practical significance, they make it impossible to assess the exact nutrient composition of each diet, which may explain apparent dis- crepancies between adverse effects and dose level, particularly at 2,000 ppm manganese and above. Most manganese toxicity studies were carried out many years ago. Due to changes in diet formulation and genetic characteristics of domestic animals, the old results may not be entirely applicable now. With a well-balanced, adequate diet, it appears that. 1,000 ppm dietary manganese is the maximum tolerable level, at least under short- term conditions, for cattle and sheep and 2,000 ppm for poultry. Some data indicated a greater sensitivity of swine, so the maximum tolerable level was set at 400 ppm. SUMMARY Manganese is an essential element for animals and plants. It functions in mucopolysacchar~de synthesis and carbohydrate and lipid metabo- lism. A variety of bone disorders, retarded growth, and reproductive failure have been observed in manganese-deficient animals. Water- soluble salts of manganese are readily available to meet the animal's needs. In general, adverse health effects have not occurred in most species with dietary concentrations of 1,000 ppm manganese or less, although some metabolic alterations have occurred. These do not appear serious and probably would not occur in animals receiving a well-balanced adequate diet. Swine appear to be more sensitive to manganese than cattle, sheep, or poultry. At 2,000 ppm and above, growth retardation, anemia, gastrointestinal lesions, and sometimes neurological signs have been observed. Many studies have been reported in which no adverse effects were observed at high levels of manganese intake. Manganese and iron are mutually antagonistic. With low iron intake, animals are much more sensitive to manganese toxicity; conversely, excess iron is protective. The tissues, apart from skin, hair, and feathers, do not accumulate large amounts of the element. Homeostatic mechanisms maintain most tissue manganese concentrations within fairly narrow limits, primarily by excretion of excess manganese via bile or the small intestine.
