  • Title: Dioxin concentration in milk and tissues of cows and sheep related to feed and soil contamination.
    Author: Schulz AJ, Wiesmüller T, Appuhn H, Stehr D, Severin K, Landmann D, Kamphues J.
    Journal: J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl); 2005; 89(3-6):72-8. PubMed ID: 15787974.
    Abstract:
    If cows or sheep are grazing on areas known for a higher dioxin level of the soil, respectively, dry cows are fed with feedstuffs produced on such areas, the dioxin concentration in food, in this case in cows' milk and livers of sheep could reach or exceed maximum levels. Furthermore large amounts of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDD/F) can be excreted with the faeces. But there are chances for farmers to prevent or at least to minimize the dioxin load of feed and with it of food (including the harvesting technique and the feeding strategy).
