“…Metals are transported and biomagnified from one trophic level to the next may accumulate more toxin in the food of higher animals as compare to their food contains [9]. The cadmium in the environment can easily be entered in the food chain and may cause various deleterious effects in plants, human and animals and result in undesirable physiological and biochemical changes [10]. In industrial areas, the level of cadmium and lead is high which cause the hormonal changes of plasma and abnormal liver function [11,12].…”

The pollution in the environment causes many health problems such as industrial, agriculture, mining and natural process adds many harmful substances in the surrounding and damage the environment. These toxic substances make the part of the food chain due to which livestock is at high exposure to risk. The present investigation was carried out in different district of Punjab to find out the cadmium levels in soil, forages as well as in the blood of the ruminants like goat and sheep. The cadmium contents in soil of district Sargodha, Mianwali and Bhakhar were ranged from 4.57 to 4.94, 2.98 to 3.95, 1.65 to 2.98 mg/kg respectively. The level of cadmium was higher in Sargodha as compare to Mianwali and Bhakkar. The mean concentrations of cadmium in forages which were used for feeding purpose were found between 2.745-3.432, 2.245-3.196 and 1.9-2.036 mg/kg for Sargodha, Mianwali and Bhakhar, respectively. The mean concentrations of cadmium in blood of goat which consumed the contaminated forages were between 2.152-2.436, 1.727-2.39 and 2.3-2.62 mg/L for Sargodha, Mianwali and Bhakhar, respectively. In blood of sheep, residual levels of cadmium in district Sargodha, Mianwali and Bhakhar were ranged from 2.152 to 2.436, 1.794 to 2.286 and 1.97 to 2.066 mg/L, respectively. All these values of cadmium for blood samples were within the permissible limit set by WHO.

“…This problem of water shortage is solved by alternate sources of irrigation [2]. The wastewater is a source of some nutrients essential for soil fertility, but it also contains toxic metals that contaminate the soil and crops [3]. The metals Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Cr, and Mn from wastewater contaminate the agricultural land and crops grown there and become the part of the food chain and cause various health hazards in human [4,5].…”

Wastewater contains a surplus amount of trace metals that contaminate the soil and crops. A pot trial was performed to determine the impact of wastewater on the zinc accumulation in forages and their associated health risk. Forages both of summer (Zea mays, Echinochloa colona, Pennisetum typhoideum, Sorghum vulgare, Sorghum bicolor, Sesbania rostrata, and Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) and winter (Trifolium alexandrinum, Medicago sativa, Brassica campestris, Trifolium resupinatum, Brassica juncea, and Brassica napus) were grown with sewage water and tap water treatment. The experiment was laid down in a completely randomized design with five replicates. The concentration of zinc in water, root and forage samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In tap water, the zinc value was 0.498 mg/L and in wastewater 0.509 mg/L, respectively. The maximum level of zinc in the forages leaves was 3.582 mg/kg found in Brassica napus grown in the winter season. The maximum observed value for zinc bioconcentration factor in Brassica juncea was (2.88) grown in winter. The values of pollution load index for zinc were found less than 1. The values of daily intake of metal and health risk index for zinc in all forages were less than 1 indicated that consumption of these forages was free of risk.

“…The source of mineral for grazing livestock is forage and other than forage is water and soil from which animal obtain minerals [1]. Mineral status of soil and hence forages defined the status of grazing livestock in that area, as well as many other animal factors, play an important role [2,3]. The deficiency or excess of particular minerals is due to a diet of ruminants which indicate the level of mineral concentration of serum consistently higher or below the normal concentration [4].…”

The present investigation was aimed to search out the sodium level in soil, forages and blood samples of the small ruminants (goat and sheep) of three districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Most forage and soil samples were found deficient in sodium contents. The lower level of Na was found in soil as well as in forages of three districts (Sargodha, Mianwali, Bhakkar). Most of the forage samples are so deficient in Na contents that they fall much below the critical levels known to be adequate for normal ruminant requirements. Significantly decreased (p<0.05) level of sodium content was observed in soil, forages as well as blood samples. The existing mineral deficiency problems might be due to the animal are fed on forages that are deficient in sodium Content due to sandy soils in that particular site, where leaching of nutrients is a major problem. So, the consumption of materials with an appropriate dose of minerals mix is recommended for proper growth and reproduction of animals of commercial values.
