Chronic arsenicosis in goats with special reference to its exposure, excretion and deposition in an arsenic contaminated zone

Highlights ► Arsenicosis among human and animal is the common problem in West Bengal, India. ► The concentration in the faeces is high rather than the concentration in urine because goat can consume a large amount of grass and rice plants where arsenic concentration is high. ► BTF and BCF will be po...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Arsenicosis among human and animal is the common problem in West Bengal, India. ► The concentration in the faeces is high rather than the concentration in urine because goat can consume a large amount of grass and rice plants where arsenic concentration is high. ► BTF and BCF will be positive biomarkers to assess the toxicity in goat.
