Abstract

A survey was made in order to estimate the occurrence of lead pellets in the reticulum of Danish cattle and the consequential increase if any, in the lead concentration in liver and kidney tissue of the animals concerned. The investigation comprised the contents of the reticulum from 415 head of cattle, males and females, adults and calves. Furthermore, livers, and/or kidneys from 34 head of cattle, with and without lead pellets in the reticulum, were analysed for lead. A total of 1120 lead pellets were found in 230 (55%) of the cattle (Table II) the number of pellets per individual ranging from 1 to 55 with an average of 0.47 gram lead in each of the 230 animals. The weight of the lead pellets found in the reticulum was 20--40% lower than that of similar pellets from unfired cartridges. (Fig. 1, Table I), indicating a partial dissolution of the pellets during their stay in the reticulum. No correlation was established between the number of lead pellets in the reticulum and the lead content in the liver and the kidneys (Fig. 2), and no increase was found in the lead content in the organs.

摘要

开展了一项调查，以估计丹麦牛网胃中铅弹的出现情况，以及相关动物肝脏和肾脏组织中铅浓度是否会因此增加（若有增加的话）。该调查涵盖了415头牛（包括公牛、母牛、成年牛和小牛）的网胃内容物。此外，对34头牛的肝脏和/或肾脏进行了铅含量分析，这些牛的网胃中有的有铅弹，有的没有。在230头（55%）的牛中总共发现了1120颗铅弹（表二），每头牛体内铅弹数量从1颗到55颗不等，这230头牛中每头牛平均含铅量为0.47克。在网胃中发现的铅弹重量比未发射弹药筒中类似铅弹的重量低20%至40%（图1，表一），这表明铅弹在留在网胃期间发生了部分溶解。网胃中铅弹的数量与肝脏和肾脏中的铅含量之间未建立相关性（图2），且未发现器官中的铅含量有所增加。
