Cadmium in Animal Feed and Foodstuffs of Animal Origin

This paper emphasizes the suitability of a systematic residue control, not only how a national monitoring programme may timely detect source of contamination of animal organs with cadmium, but also how a systematic control and procedures may resolve the problem of contamination of foodstuffs. As a result of feeding the pigs with contaminated feed (w(Cd)=2.05 to 4.86 mg/kg) the mass fraction levels of this toxic metal in their kidneys ranged between 0.67 and 12.96 mg/kg and those determined in liver ranged between 0.07 and 1.69 mg/kg. The levels of cadmium in all muscle samples ranged between <0.01 and 0.04 mg/kg. After withdrawal of contaminated feedmix tissue levels returned to normal (w(Cd)=0.19-0.63 mg/kg in kidney, 0.03-0.1 mg/kg in liver and <0, 01 mg/kg in muscle).
