Abstract
Blood porphyrin increased during experimental lead intoxication in cattle, and appeared to reflect the intensity of lead intoxication, as judged by blood lead determination. Certain anaemic states were also associated with high blood porphyrin. In these instances blood lead determination, decreased aminolevulinic avid dehydrase activity or examination of erythrocyte morphology may be necessary for accurate laboratory diagnosis. The test also proved to be an invaluable screening test in a herd with several cases of acute lead poisoning.
