Investigation of Heavy Metal Levels in Blood of Anatolian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Raised in Bitlis Province

Abstract

In this study, which aims to determine the levels of heavy metals, in the blood of 20 Anatolian buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) aged 12-18 months, raised in Bitlis province, Güroymak District and fed with ready-made feed ad-libitum in pasture + pen conditions. 3 macro minerals and 14 micro minerals were found in the blood. The levels of a total of 17 minerals were measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Among the macro minerals levels were Ca 43.896±1.216 ppm, Mg 11.381±0.325 ppm, K 133.175±13.959 ppm and micro minerals levels were Al 0.710±0.090 ppm, As 0.027±0.006 ppm, Ba 0.038±0.006 ppm, Co 0.006±0.002 ppm, Cr 0.055±0.010 ppm, Cu 0.218±0.033 ppm, Fe 0.83 2±0.051 ppm, Mn 0.024±0.003 ppm, Mo 0.009±0.002 ppm, Se 0.084±0.009 ppm, Sr 0.050±0.004 ppm, Ti 0.046±0.011 ppm, V 0.058 ±0.014 ppm and Zn 0.168±0.025 ppm. Relationships between minerals are revealed by Pearson Correlation Coefficient (p<0.05). In addition, in this study, the ranking of macro and micro minerals and the relative values of some of these minerals (As/Se, Ca/Mg, Ca/Mn, Ca/Zn, Cu/Fe, Cu/Zn, K/Mg, Mn/Fe, Mn/ Mg, Zn/Fe) were presented.

Bitlis İli’nde Yetiştirilen Anadolu Mandalarında (Bubalus bubalis) Kandaki Ağır Metal Düzeylerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Ağır metal düzeylerinin belirlenmesinin amaçlandığı bu çalışmada Bitlis ili, Güroymak, İlçesi’nde yetiştirilen ve mera+ağıl koşularında ad-libitum olarak hazır yemle beslenen Anadolu mandalarından (Bubalus bubalis) 12-18 aylık yaştaki 20 malağının kanlarında, 3’ü makro mineral ve 14’ü mikro mineral olmak üzere toplam 17 mineralin düzeyi indüktif eşleşmiş plazma optik emisyon spektrometresi (ICP-OES) ile ölçülmüştür Makro minerallerden Ca 43.896±1.216 ppm, Mg 11.381±0.325 ppm ve K 133.175±13.959 ppm iken; mikro minerallerden Al 0.710±0.090 ppm, As 0.027±0.006 ppm, Ba 0.038±0.006 ppm, Co 0.006±0.002 ppm, Cr 0.055±0.010 ppm, Cu 0.218±0.033 ppm, Fe 0.832±0.051 ppm, Mn 0.024±0.003 ppm, Mo 0.009±0.002 ppm, Se 0.084±0.009 ppm, Sr 0.050±0.004 ppm, Ti 0.046±0.011 ppm, V 0.058±0.014 ppm ve Zn 0.168±0.025 ppm düzeyinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Mineraller arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson Korelasyon Katsayısı (p<0.05) ile ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca bu çalışmada makro ve mikro minerallerin sıralaması ve bu minerallerden bazılarının oransal değerleri de (As/Se, Ca/Mg, Ca/Mn, Ca/Zn, Cu/Fe, Cu/Zn, K/Mg, Mn/Fe, Mn/ Mg, Zn/Fe) sunulmuştur.
