- Abstract
The status of cadmium in blood plasma of cattle being reared at Khizerabad Livestock farm, district Sargodha, Pakistan was determined. The concentrations of Cd in plasma ranged from 0.52 to 0.70 mg/L, during various sampling intervals, respectively. The maximum levels of plasma cadmium in lactating cows indicated the potential threat of food chain contamination, which should be well thought-out as a potential source of toxicity for livestock and eventually for-human.
