The elemental composition of various biosubstrates of productive horses

Abstract

The study of the elemental composition of biosubstrates of horses of heavy breeds in the system blood-milk-wool was undertaken. The average values of the exchange pool of 6 toxic (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, tin) and 13 essential elements (calcium, potassium, manganese, sodium, phosphorus, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, iodine, magnesium, selenium and zinc) in the body of lactating horses were determined. Comparison of the concentration of toxic elements in various horse nutrient depots showed a significant positive correlation with individual essential nutrients.

Concentration of mineral and heavy metals in raw mare (horse) milk consumed in Yazd, Iran: A risk assessment study

“…The Pb concentration of mares ranged from 4.8 to 10.24 μg/L. The Cd, As and Pb in Kalashnikova et al (2019) research were evaluated 0.004, 0.016 and 0.069 mg/kg, respectively, which is higher than the current study. In contrast to the result of the current study, Cd and Ni were not detected in donkey milk samples of Paksoy et al (2018) research.…”

Data on multiple regression analysis between boron, nickel, arsenic, antimony, and biological substrates in horses: The role of hematological biomarkers

“…The tissues that have a lot of oxidative enzymes (gastrointestinal [GI] tract, liver, kidneys, lungs, endothelium, and epidermis) are more likely to be damaged by As. This element is one of the highly toxic elements that slow down the absorption of zinc, vitamins A and E. [23] In this study, the As concentration found in the different biological substrates was lower than reported [24] in mane and blood of horses (0.027 and 0.016 μg/g, respectively).…”
