Description
Summary:Milk and dairy products may contain varying amounts of different toxic contaminants, such as heavy metals. The survey was conducted to study the rate of excretion of heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb in the milk of cows, sheep and goats correlated with the corresponding quantities of metals flowing into the diet for 60 consecutive days. 300 samples of milk from five cows, were analyzed with average content (mg/L) of Cu = 0.29, Zn = 1,21, Cd
