Abstract

Assessment of Zn and Pb in buffaloes fed on forages irrigated with wastewater in Sahiwal, Sargodha, Pakistan

Highlights

  • Heavy metals can be distinct as with density them effective and they are only termed higher than 5 mg/ml [1] and include heavy metals when their concentration cross molybdenum, lead, nickel, copper, arsenic, a limit and poses toxic effects [3, 4]

  • Statistical analysis SPSS was used to find analysis of variance and correlation of data. Bio concentration factor It was calculated using Microsoft excel by the following formula: BCF = mean concentration of metal in fodder/ mean concentration of metal in soil Enrichment Factor (EF) “It was determined by the procedure of Caselles et al [17] (Table 1)

  • Health risk index (HRI) Health risk index value can be calculated by daily intake of metal and oral reference dose (RfD) Cui et al [30] (Table 4)
