A case of chronic zinc poisoning in calves fed with zinc‐contaminated roughage

Abstract: A case of zinc intoxication in young female cattle is described. The clinical signs consisted of reduced appetite, emaciation, submandibular oedema and diarrhoea. The source of zinc proved to be roughage harvested in the vicinity of a factory galvanizing steel tubes. In this roughage zinc levels between 3000 and 7300 mg/kg dry weight were found. In the liver of four animals zinc levels varied between 420 and 1600 mg/kg, and between 910 and 1680 mg/kg dry weight in the kidneys.

“…On one hand, the TM of Zn with ecological risk level has been screened out for human health risk assessment based on the simulation of metal species. On the other hand, exposure to excessive zinc contamination may result in zinc poisoning with the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, death, etc (Wentink et al, 1985;Wang et al, 2008;Board, 2013). Consequently, it was essential to effectively and accurately quantify the health risk of zinc on human.…”

“…Among the farm animals, sheep and cattle belong to the less tolerant species (Un derwood, 1977). In the Netherlands, no zinc toxicity had been reported, until re cently in foals (Hoskam et al, 1982) and in calves (Wentink et al, 1985) given zinccontaminated roughage.…”
