After pretreatment of those samples, microwave digestion was performed with MARS6 high-throughput closed microwave digestion system, and then the Cu contents of feed samples were determined by IRIS Intrepid Ⅱ. The pig liver or soybean powder were used as a reference material to ensure the reliability of the measurement results. 【Result】 The determination of Cu contents in feedstuffs showed that the average Cu content of cereal feeds (including corn, wheat, rice and barley) was 3.95 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 2.50 to 5.34 mg·kg -1); the average Cu content of cereal by-products (including corn gluten meal, corn DDGS, corn germ meal, wheat middling, wheat bran, wheat DDGS, broken rice and rice bran) was 7.16 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 1.62 to 12.13 mg·kg -1); the average Cu content of plant protein feeds (including extruded soybean, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, linseed meal and sunflower meal) was 16.37 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 6.45 to 30.40 mg·kg -1); the average Cu content of animal protein feeds (including fish meal, meat meal, hydrolyzed feather meal, dried porcine soluble, plasma protein powder and blood cells protein powder) was 11.14 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 1.90 to 20.04 mg·kg -1); the average Cu content of pasture feeds (including Leymus chinensis, ryegrass, alfalfa and corn silage) was 7.85 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 4.31 to 9.92 mg·kg -1; the average Cu content of straw feeds (including corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw and sweet potato vine) was 7.50 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 3.38 to 13.89 mg·kg -1); the average Cu content of mineral feeds (including limestone, dicalcium phosphate, bone meal and oyster shell meal) was 6.79 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 3.39 to 11.45 mg·kg -1). Results showed that the average Cu contents of these 37 kinds of feeds ranged from 1.62 to 30.40 mg·kg -1 and the Cu contents distribution of different species feeds were as follows: plant protein feeds (16.37 mg·kg -1)＞animal protein feeds (11.14 mg·kg -1)＞pasture feeds (7.85 mg·kg -1)＞straw feeds (7.50 mg·kg -1)＞cereal by-products (7.16 mg·kg -1)＞mineral feeds (6.79 mg·kg -1)＞cereal feeds (3.95 mg·kg -1). It was found that the Cu contents in corn, wheat or soybean meal from some provinces (regions) were significantly different (P＜0.05). The highest and lowest Cu contents of corn and soybean meal were observed in Sichuan (2.97 and 15.74 mg·kg -1) and Inner Mongolia (1.66 and 11.72 mg·kg -1), respectively; the highest and lowest Cu contents of wheat were observed in Gansu (5.61 mg·kg -1) and Hebei (4.02 mg·kg -1) provinces, respectively. Calculated Cu contents from 152 feed formulas commonly used in pigs and chickens all over the country ranged from 5.07 to 6.54 mg·kg -1. According to Cu requirements of pigs and chickens from feeding standards of China and NRC of the United States, the Cu contents in the basal diets could provide the Cu nutrition requirements of pigs basically and provide most of the Cu nutrition requirements of chickens. However, the utilization rate of Cu in different feed ingredients had not been considered. 【Conclusion】 The above results showed that the Cu contents in feed ingredients varied greatly in different kinds and regions, and the Cu contents in the basal diets from common formulations of pigs and chickens in our country could provide most of the nutritional requirements for pigs and chickens. Therefore, it was suggested that the Cu contents and its utilization rate of the basal diets from different regions should be considered to formulate the diets accurately, so as to meet the need of efficient production of livestock and poultry and reduce the environmental pollution caused by Cu addition and emission.

The feed samples fall into seven types: cereals (corn, wheat, rice and barley), cereal by-products (broken rice, wheat middling, wheat bran, rice bran, corn DDGS, wheat DDGS, corn germ meal and corn gluten meal), plant protein ingredients (extruded soybean, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, linseed meal and sunflower seed meal), animal protein ingredients (fish meal, meat meal, hydrolyzed feather meal, dried porcine solubles, plasma protein powder and dried blood cells), straw ingredients (corn straw, sweet potato vine, rice straw and wheat straw), pasture ingredients (Leymus chinensis, ryegrass, alfalfa and corn silage) and mineral ingredients (limestone, dicalcium phosphate, oyster shell meal and bone meal). 【Result】 The results showed that the average Mn contents of these 37 kinds of feed ingredients ranged from 0.4 to 1 104.8 mg·kg -1, and the distribution regularities of Mn contents in different species of feed ingredients were as follows: mineral ingredients＞straw ingredients＞cereal by-productscpasture ingredients＞plant protein ingredients＞cereals＞animal protein ingredients. Among the same kind of feed samples, there were significant differences (P＜0.0003) in the Mn contents from all types of feed ingredients. In the cereals, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the rice (77.7 mg·kg -1) and corn (5.7 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the cereal by-products, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the rice bran (166.0 mg·kg -1) and corn gluten meal (4.6 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the plant protein ingredients, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the rapeseed meal (68.0 mg·kg -1) and cottonseed meal (27.0 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the animal protein ingredients, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the fish meal (48.5 mg·kg -1) and dried blood cells (0.4 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the straw ingredients, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the rice straw (458.1 mg·kg -1) and wheat straw (37.8 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the pasture feeds, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the Leymus chinensis (89.1 mg·kg -1) and alfalfa (33.0 mg·kg -1), respectively; in the mineral ingredients, the highest and lowest Mn contents were observed in the dicalcium phosphate (1 104.8 mg·kg -1) and bone meal (16.9 mg·kg -1), respectively. Regional comparisons on a basis of provinces (regions) were made of Mn contents of corn, wheat and soybean meal, showing significant effects (P＜0.0004) of regional environments on Mn contents in corn and soybean meal. The highest and lowest Mn contents of corn were observed in Guizhou (7.9 mg·kg -1) and Inner Mongolia (4.2 mg·kg -1), respectively; the highest and lowest Mn contents of soybean meal were observed in Zhejiang province (48.3 mg·kg -1) and Guangdong province (34.4 mg·kg -1), respectively. Calculated Mn contents in basal diets from 142 common formulations of pigs and chickens in our country ranged from 14.4 to 32.1 mg·kg -1. According to Mn requirements of pigs and chickens from feeding standards of China and NRC of the United States, the Mn contents in the basal diets could provide about one-fourth and all the nutritional needs of recommended Mn requirements for pigs and chickens, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The above results showed that the Mn contents in feed ingredients varied greatly in different kinds and regions, and the Mn contents in basal diets from common formulations of pigs and chickens in our country could partly provide the nutritional requirements for chickens and the full needs of pigs. However, the bioavailabilities of Mn in different feed ingredients have not been considered in above evaluation. Therefore, the Mn contents in feed ingredients of different kinds and regions should be considered in the preparation of diets, so as to formulate the diets accurately and ensure efficient production of livestock and poultry and reduce supplemental Mn level and environmental pollution caused by Mn emission.

After pretreatment, microwave digestion was performed with MARS6 high-throughput closed microwave digestion system, and then feed samples were determined by ion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (IC-ICP-MS). The pig liver powder was used as a reference material to ensure the reliability of the measurement results.【Result】 The determination of Se contents in feedstuffs showed that the average Se content of cereal feeds (including corn, wheat, rice and barley) was 0.037 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.025 to 0.044 mg·kg -1); cereal by-products (including corn gluten meal, corn DDGS, corn germ meal, wheat middling, wheat bran, wheat DDGS, broken rice and rice bran) was 0.071 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.034 to 0.124 mg·kg -1); plant protein feeds (including extruded soybean, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, linseed meal and sunflower meal) was 0.209 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.097 to 0.502 mg·kg -1); animal protein feeds (including fish meal, meat meal, hydrolyzed feather meal, dried porcine soluble, plasma protein powder and blood cells protein powder) was 1.217 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.611 to 2.220 mg·kg -1); pasture feeds (including Leymus chinensis, ryegrass, alfalfa and corn silage) was 0.062 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.057 to 0.070 mg·kg -1); straw feeds (including corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw and sweet potato vine) was 0.069 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.033 to 0.128 mg·kg -1); mineral feeds (including limestone, dicalcium phosphate, bone meal and oyster shell meal) was 0.352 mg·kg -1 (ranged from 0.085 to 0.544 mg·kg -1). Results showed that the average Se contents of these 37 kinds of feeds ranged from 0.025 to 2.220 mg·kg -1 and the Se contents distribution of different species feeds were as follows: animal protein feeds (1.217 mg·kg -1)＞ mineral feeds (0.352 mg·kg -1) ＞ plant protein feeds (0.209 mg·kg -1) ＞cereal by-products (0.071 mg·kg -1) ＞straw feeds (0.069 mg·kg -1) ＞ pasture feeds (0.062 mg·kg -1) ＞cereal feeds (0.037 mg·kg -1).The Se contents in corn, wheat or soybean meal from some provinces (regions) were significantly different (P＜0.05). The Se contents of corn samples from all the provinces (regions) were deficient (≤0.05 mg·kg -1), and 61.1% provinces (regions) were severely deficient (≤0.02 mg·kg -1). The Se contents of wheat samples from Sichuan province were serious deficient (≤0.02 mg·kg -1). The Se contents of soybean meal samples from Sichuan province and Inner Mongolia were deficient (0.03-0.05 mg·kg -1), and that from Henan province were critical deficient (0.06-0.09 mg·kg -1). Calculated Se contents from 153 feed formulas commonly used in pigs and chickens all over the country ranged from 0.06 to 0.11 mg·kg -1, which could provide about a quarter of the Se requirement for pigs and chickens according to feeding standards of China. 【Conclusion】 The Se contents enrichments of feeds in livestock and poultry are different among different types and regions in China. The Se contents in the basal diet formula could provide about a quarter of the Se requirement for pigs and chickens in China. Therefore, it is suggested that we should formulate the diet accurately according to distribution data of Se contents in feedstuffs from different types and different areas, so as to meet the need of efficient production of livestock and poultry and reduce supplemental Se level.
