“…In general, it was observed that the pp | isomers of DDE, DDD and DDT were more frequently encountered than their op | isomers. The mean total DDT concentration in different feed samples varied from 0.016 to 0.118 mg kg −1 (Table 3) which was less than those reported by Kaphalia and Seth (1982), Dikshith et al (1989) and Battu et al (1996). However, Sharma et al (2005) detected only pp | DDT in the range of 0.007 ± 0.005 μg g −1 in concentrate feed samples collected from Haryana (India).…”

“…It was observed that among different HCH isomers, the concentration of predominantly accumulating, metabolically stable and most persistent β-HCH was highest in most of the samples. The mean total HCH concentration, which is the summation of all individual isomers, varied from 0.01 to 0.306 mg kg −1 in different samples, and this was found lesser than the earlier studies (Kaphalia and Seth 1982;Dikshith et al 1989;Singh et al 1997;Gupta et al 2000).…”

“…Most of the residue-monitoring programmes are concentrated on food crops, fruits and vegetables. As evidenced from survey of literature, only a few reports about the status of pesticide residues in feed and fodder are available from India (Kaphalia and Seth 1982;Shastry 1983;Dikshith et al 1989;Singh et al 1997;Gupta et al 2000;Prasad and Chhabra 2001;Kang et al 2002) and abroad (Pierson et al 1982;Lovell et al 1996). Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to analyse 533 feed samples collected from different areas of Bundelkhand region of India during the period of 2002-2005 for persistent OC residues.…”

Persistent organochlorine pesticide residues in animal feed

Animal products like milk and meat are often found to be contaminated with residues of persistent pesticides and other toxic substances. The major source of entry of these compounds to animal body is the contaminated feed and fodder. So, unless the residues are managed at this stage, it is very difficult to prevent contamination in milk and meat. Therefore, the status of residue level of most persistent organochlorinated pesticides (OCP) in feed and fodder should be monitored regularly. The frequency of occurrence and contamination levels of OCP residues in different kinds of animal concentrate feed and straw samples collected from Bundelkhand region of India were determined. Out of 533 total samples, 301 i.e. 56.47% samples were positive containing residues of different OCPs like hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) complex, endosulfan and dicofol. Among different HCH isomers, the mean concentration of β-HCH was highest, and total HCH varied from 0.01 to 0.306 mg kg(-1). In case of DDT complex, i.e. DDD, DDE and DDT, the concentration ranged between 0.016 and 0.118 mg kg(-1) and the pp(|) isomers were more frequently encountered than their op(|) counterparts. Endosulfan was also found in some samples in concentration ranging from 0.009 to 0.237 mg/kg, but dicofol could be recorded in very few samples. Although feed samples were found to contain OC residues, after comparing their levels in positive samples with the limiting values of respective pesticides, only very few were found to exceed the threshold level. Otherwise, they were mostly within safe limits.

“…The results of the present survey, therefore, suggest that the intake of feed contaminated with technical grade HCH is the major source of HCH residues in milk. The presence of residues of DDT and HCH in cattle feed in India has already been reported (Battu et al (1989a) and Dikshith et al (1989)). Being lipophilic, these insecticides are accumulated and excreted in milk fat at concentrations higher than those present in feed (Kalra et al 1986, Kapoor andKalra 1989).…”

Under a multicentre study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research, 2205 samples of dairy milk were collected from rural and urban areas of 12 states representing different geographical regions of India. These samples were analysed for residues of DDT and different isomers of HCH by gas-liquid chromatography. Analytical quality assurance between various participating laboratories was ensured through analysis of check samples. The residues of DDT and HCH were detected in more than 80% of samples analysed. Concentrations of DDT residues, alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH and delta-HCH exceeded their maximum residue limits prescribed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Indian Government in 37, 21, 42, 28 and 4% of the samples, respectively. Median values of DDT and HCH found in dairy milk in India were more than the corresponding values reported from most other countries. The results showed significant variations in the incidence as well as level of these contaminants in dairy milk from different regions of the country.

“…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. [25][26][27][28][29] However, unlike other organochlorine insecticides, endosulfan apparently does not pass into the milk of cattle when ingested in feed, even at a high concentration for a prolonged period of time. Residues of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and endosulfan stereoisomers analyzed in dry and green fodder samples from rural areas of Ambala, Gurgaon, and Hisar (Haryana, India) revealed the persistence of OCP residues in both dry and green fodder samples as total OCPs, and endosulfan was found to be the highest in wheat straw (1.1-1.2 mg kg −1 ) from Ambala and Gurgaon, followed by sorghum straw (0.46 mg kg −1 ) from Hisar.…”

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.
