“…During key stages of development, these parts of the body are known to be very sensitive to the exposures of chemicals, including pesticides. Milk is nearly a perfect natural food widely used in all segments of the population in all stages of life [8,9]. Milk is considered as a nearly complete food as it contains a good source of protein, fat and major minerals [10] which serves as a source of energy.…”

“…Serious health problems such as heart diseases, cancers, damage the nervous system, reproductive and endocrinal damages, Alzheimer's and Parkinsonism disease may be the consequences of pesticides in food. As pesticides persist in the environment for a long time and as a consequence, they enter the human body through the food chain [8,18,19]. Poisoning cases in human beings are characterized by headache, dizziness, gastrointestinal disturbances, numbness, apprehension and hyperirritability and weakness of the extremities.…”

The ill effects of green revolution include residues of extensively used chemical pesticides in various environmental components. The present study was designed to analyze the levels of organochlorine pesticide residues along with chemical composition in buffalo milk samples collected from different localities of Delhi. Milk monitoring can yield information about the kinds and quantities of pesticides in the environment as well as in our daily diet. In this study, the residue of three different organochlorine pesticides, namely Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and Endosulfan have been reported. Residues of Lindane exceeded the Maximum Residual Limit values in 50% of the samples is a cause of serious concern. The p,p'-DDT was detected in 70% of the samples with p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) in 80% of the milk samples of different parts of Delhi state. DDD (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) another metabolite of p,p'-DDT was detected in 65% of the milk samples. The analysis indicates that DDT is the major contaminants in different parts of Delhi state. α and β endosulfan were detected in 35% and 40% of the samples analyzed. The statistical correlation shows no significant correlation between chemical compositions of the samples. The presence of multiple chemicals in virtually all samples of buffalo milk raises new questions about the possible toxicological impacts of chemical mixtures on an infant's developing nervous and immune systems and reproductive organs.

“…Moreover, they reported higher levels of DDT in butter samples when compared with cheese. Earlier, John et al (2001) reported increased residual levels of organochlorine pesticides during winter season in milk samples collected from Jaipur city, Rajasthan, India. It is a welcoming feature that DDT was present only below detectable limit (BDL) (5 ng g -1 ) in milk and milk products obtained from organized dairies in and around Chennai city, India.…”

Immunoassay of pesticide residues in foods is gaining importance in the past two decades. The objective of the present work is to develop an enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for the assay of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in milk and milk products. Here, an ELISA method was developed using rabbit polyclonal antibodies against a hapten, DDT-OH for the detection of organochloride pesticide DDT in milk and milk products. The immunogen for raising the antiserum was prepared from BIS (4-chlorophenyl) ethanol and succinic anhydride coupled with bovine serum albumin (BSA) One ml of immunogen was inoculated subcutaneously in multiple sites of thigh region in rabbits following three boosters at weekly intervals and the antiserum was harvested after the second booster. The ELISA response of the anti DDT antiserum, diluted and undiluted was studied against the antigen (DDT) coated onto the immuno module. The homogenous response of the anti DDT anti serum was adequate to identify DDT. Fifteen samples each of milk, buttermilk, cheese, kalakhand and khoa were quantitatively analyzed for DDT using ELISA as well as GC methods. DDT was present only below detectable limit (BDL) (5 ng g -1 ) in milk and milk products obtained from organized dairies in and around Chennai city, India. The percentage recovery was above 70% ensuring that the ELISA method developed for DDT is dependable. The developed ELISA method can be helpful in detecting the residual amount of DDT present in milk and milk products. The analysis of pesticides in samples by ELISA and GC was comparable.

“…Animals can accumulate these substances from contaminated feed and water. Moreover, due to the lipophilic nature of pesticides, they easily accumulate in milk and other fat-rich substances, 24) which relates to an indirect source of pesticide accumulation represented by animal-derived products. Endosulfan, an organochlorine insecticide previously used widely in agriculture for the control of various crop pests in India, has been reported to be present as a residue in various green fodders and feed concentrates up to a concentration of 6 ppm.…”

The Indian livestock population is huge. Most (99%) of the livestock owners still follow traditional animal husbandry practices and graze their livestock, especially small ruminants, on natural pastures where no pesticides are used. In order to feed the everincreasing livestock population, efforts are being made to increase quality fodder productivity from limited land resources. In such situations, pesticides play an important role by minimizing the loss of green fodder due to disease and pest attack. In countries such as Canada, Israel, the UK, and other European countries, pesticides have been registered for forage crops; in India, however, although pesticides have been registered for cultivable grain, horticultural and cash crops, etc., there are no registration guidelines or authenticated information regarding pesticide use with regard to forage crops. Hence, there is a need to take necessary steps in this direction, keeping in view the importance of fodder and livestock in the country. In this review, detailed aspects of the status and use of pesticides in forage crops in India are discussed.
