“…The ingestion of cadmium until approximately 0.5mg Kg -1 day -1 consists in suitable nutrition, without originate significant risk to the health, since it is not generated representative bioaccumulation (BERTRAND et al, 1981). The results obtained in the analysis of liver and kidney are in agreement with the data of literature, which indicate the kidney as principal biological organ of accumulation of cadmium (approximately half of the cadmium encountered in the body) (PHILLIPS, 2004).…”

Considering the cadmium values obtained in the present work, which were founded lower than the limits established to the kidney, it is possible to infer that the respective meat is suitable to the human nutrition, since this organ is the principal focus of deposition of cadmium in the human organism (BERTRAND et al, 1981;GARCÍA-FERNÁNDEZ et al, 1996). It was not founded any violations in the meat sample analyzed in this work.…”

Forty-nine male calves were allotted in a randomized design, initially seven replicates per treatment at the end of the experiment were slaughtered four animals per treatment. Treatments CONT: control diet; FBC120: Dicalcium Phosphate 120:1 ratio P: F; MBC60: Monodicalcium phosphate 60:1 ratio P:F; FBC30: Dicalcium Phosphate 30:1 ratio P:F; SFT30: Super triple phosphate 30:1 ratio P:F; FBC10: Dicalcium Phosphate 10:1 ratio P:F; CAR10: concentrated ratio of 10:1 rock Q:F. Phosphates less elaborate showed higher amounts of heavy metals. In bones, iron, aluminum and lead were higher in FBC10 diet, the copper content was higher in animals fed the diet MBC60. Magnesium in liver was higher in animals fed diet FBC30, aluminum was higher for treatments SFT30 and FBC10, FBC120 and the cadmium and lead levels were higher in animals that received STF30. Treatments did not affect phosphorus and fluorine in muscle and heart, being that chromium was higher in the muscle of animals fed diets CAR10 and STF30 while cadmium in heart was greater in diet CAR10. Kidney phosphorus was higher in the animals fed the diet CAR10 and lower dietary FBC10, while aluminum was higher in the animals fed with the diet FBC10 and lower dietary FBC120 and levels of chromium and lead were higher in animals CAR10 diet and lowest in diet MBC60. Alternative sources of phosphorus and low ratios P:F increased the deposition of minerals in bones and liver, and this mineral deposition was lower in the muscles.

“…The antagonistic effect of soil and/or sewage sludge on the uptake of Cu from the diet has been observed previously (Bertrand et al, 1981;Johnson et al, 1981;Baxter et al, 1983) and may be ascribed to the prevention of absorption of Cu from the digestive tract by adsorption of the element on organo-mineral soil complexes or sorption to iron, manganese or aluminium oxides. There was no clear pattern in the concentration of Cu in the liver or kidney, with respect to the level of sludge in the soil, in contrast to the increased accumulation of Cu with increased level of sludge in the previous experiment (Hill et al, 1998).…”

1998). Accumulation of potentially toxic elements by sheep given diets containing soil and sewage sludge. 2. Effect of the ingestion of soils treated historically with sewage sludge. AbstractCurrent European Union legislation will increase the level of disposal of sewage sludge to agricultural land in the next 10 years. This increase may lead to an increase in ingestion, by grazing animals, of herbage with elevated levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) derived from sludge adhered to the herbage or sewage sludge-amended soil resulting in the accumulation of PTEs in body tissues, especially the liver and kidney. To assess the possible accumulation of PTEs from soils treated historically with sewage sludge, eight groups of housed weaned lambs were given either dried grass as a sole food (grass control), or diets comprising dried grass (0-9 of total diet dry matter (DM)) and soil (0-1 of total diet DM) from two experimental sites, plots within which had been treated 14 years previously with different quantities of sewage sludge. Soils from the two sites (Cassington and Royston) had contrasting physical characteristics, pH and contents of calcium. The soil from the site at Cassington was slightly acidic (pH 6-0) and had a concentration of calcium of 7-92 glkg DM whereas the soil from the site at Royston was alkaline (pH 8-0) and had a high concentration of calcium . Plots at each site had a range of concentrations of cadmium (Cd) in the soil up to three times the United Kingdom (UK) statutory limit of 3 mg Cd per kg DM. The soils from these two sites were designated control -no amendment with sewage sludge (0-69 mg Cd per kg DM), low (3-55 mg Cd per kg DM), medium (6-63 mg Cd per kg DM) and high (8-82 mg Cd per kg DM; Cassington soil only). Voluntary DM intake of diets by weaned lambs (mean 1436 glday) was not affected significantly by any dietary treatment. The concentrations of Cd in liver increased (P < 0-001) from 0-061 and 0-072 mg/kg DM (Royston and Cassington control, respectively) to 0-218 and 0-403 mglkg DM (Royston and Cassington medium, respectively) and 0-500 mg/kg DM (Cassington high). The concentrations of Pb in liver increased (P < 0-001) from 0-733 and 0-627 mg/kg DM (Royston and Cassington control, respectively) to 118 and 1-25 mg/kg DM (Royston and Cassington medium, respectively) and 1-18 mg/kg DM (Cassington high). Similar changes were observed for concentrations ofCd and Pb in kidney. A depletion of the concentration ofCu in the liverwas observed in all treatments containing soil in the diet. The rate of accumulation ofCd in the liver ranged from 0 to 0-35 \ig/g daily tissue DM growth and in the kidney ranged from 0 to 0-44 \iglg daily tissue DM growth. The rate of accumulation ofPb in the liver ranged from 0 to 6-01 yig/g daily tissue DM growth and in the kidney ranged from 0 to 0-63 \ig/g daily tissue DM growth. No significant accumulation of PTEs was observed in muscle tissue. It is concluded that the current UK statutory limits for the concentrations ofCd and Pb in soils treated with sew...

“…Induction of cadmiumbinding protein in kidney and liver and accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl) ethylene (p,p'-DDE) in fat were also observed. Bertrand et al (1981) showed only a significant increase in fecal excretion of heavy metals in beef steers grazing on a grass pasture in which the foliage was treated with liquid digested sludge. Decker (1978) reported development of an emaciated condition in beef cattle allowed to graze on pasture vegetation to which sludge was applied.…”

Growing sheep were grazed for 152 d on grass-legume forage growing on soil that had been amended with municipal sewage sludge from Syracuse, N.Y., at 224 metric tons per hectare. Cadmium was higher, but not significantly (p greater than 0.05), in tissues of sheep fed the sludge-grown forage as compared to controls. No significant differences between the sludge or control treatments were found in weight of the complete or cauda epididymis or in percent progressive motility of cauda epididymal sperm. The sludge-treatment group had significantly larger testes (p less than 0.025) when expressed as a percentage of body weight, and higher blood uric acid values (p less than 0.05). There were no observable changes in tissue ultrastructure of liver, kidney, muscle, or testes as examined by electron microscopy in either of the treatment groups. There were no significant differences for rate of animal weight gain, carcass weight, dressing percentage, or quality or yield grade of the carcases between the treatment groups.
