Cadmium in organs and tissues of horses slaughtered in Italy. The cadmium content of muscle, liver, kidney and blood samples from 62 horses slaughtered in Italy was investigated. Cadmium was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) after wet digestion of the samples. The mean and median contents of all samples were (on a fresh weight basis) 75 and 41 micrograms kg-1 for muscle, 2.46 and 2.10 mg kg-1 for liver, 20.0 and 13.5 mg kg-1 for kidney. The cadmium level in blood samples was always below 6 micrograms l-1. The cadmium concentrations in muscle, liver and kidney were found to be related to the life span of the specimens a...
Fumonsin B1, B2, and B3 content of commercial unprocessed maize imported into South Africa from Argentina and the USA during 1992. The widespread occurrence of F. moniliforme and the toxic effects of its secondary metabolites, the fumonisins B1(FB1), B2(FB2) and B3(FB3), make it imperative that fumonisin contamination of maize, a major constituent of animal feed as well as the staple diet of many populations, be closely monitored to reduce the risk of fumonisin exposure. Equine leukoencephalomalacia and porcine pulmonary oedema have been associated with the intake of feed heavily contaminated with fumonisins. In addition, high levels of fumonisins in the maize-based staple diets of certain populations have been linked to ...
