title: [Disturbances in the status of trace elements in cattle from the point of view of herd supervision. 2: New trace elements].
abstract: In this bipartite article the current knowledge about trace elements in cattle is reviewed. The second part contains the new trace elements. This group includes the essential elements arsenic, lead, nickel, vanadium, tin, silicon and the accidental elements. Of the last aluminum, boron, cadmium, mercury and thallium have an importance for cattle due to their toxic potential and the risk of contamination of the food originating from the animal.
