Some studies on hematological and some biochemical changes induced by heavy metal in cattle reared in Bahr El-Bakar region with special reference to its residues in milk [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Pollution of water has increased due to the industrial effluents, municipal waste and agricultural drainage. The aim of this work was to evaluate the haematobiochemical effect of heavy metal as well as its residues in milk in Bahar El Baker region in which Bahar El Baker drainer sea is considered the main place for agriculture drain, sewage discharge, waste water and industrial effluents in Sharkia Governorate but the water in Falmus region from Nile River. Cattle reared in Bahar El Baker exhibited some clinical symptos represented by anemia, abdominal colic, liver dysfunction, renal damage, skeletal disorder with symptoms resemble osteomalachia. A total of 50 random samples (20 each of each of raw cows milk, blood and 5 water samples were collected from cattle in Fakous and Bahar EI Baker City Sharkia Governorate. Milk samples where placed in an ice box and immediately send to laboratory for determination of some heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, copper and zinc) concentration by Atomic Absorpation Spectrophotometry.
