Results and discussion
Target system / organ toxicity
- Critical effects observed:
- not specified
Any other information on results incl. tables
There was a linear increase of lead in blood with time on treatment for calves receiving the 500 ppm Pb diet.
Lead in blood of the two calves receiving 1500 ppm added Pb appeared to peak at 4 wk, then remained about the same until the 6th wk. All calves receiving 4500 ppm supplemental lead died within 10 days from onset of the experiment.
From our research and also from review of published data, cattle vary considerably in degrees of toxicity resulting from consuming different amounts of lead from various sources. Differences of published reports may be due to the many variables that may include different chemical forms.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Lead sulfate, which is one of the more common environmental pollutants, apparently is less toxic to cattle than some forms that have been studied more.
