“…In this study the investigation for Mn was greater as compare to recorded values by Lindström et al (2013). This study of Mn found lower the concentration of Mn in forage as compare to the observation by Udiba et al (2014). The current ndings were found higher than those given by Spann et al (2010).…”

The aim of study was to access the Mn contamination in soil, forages and animals. Heavy metal pollution is a matter of prime significance in natural environment. Through food chain toxicity of heavy metals and their bioaccumulation potential are transferred into humans .Higher concentrations of metallic compounds are toxic to living organisms but these are essential to maintain body metabolism. Intake of food crops polluted with heavy metals is chief food chain channel for human exposure. Animals are exposed to heavy metal stress by the intake of richly contaminated food crops those are chief part of food chain. We collected samples of soil, plant, animal blood, hair and faeces to find contamination through wet digestion process in lab and metal analysis. Different forages were collected to study Mn calculation was our major concern in this study. Our present findings also emphasized on the assessment of bio-concentration factor (BCF). We also calculated other significant indices i.e. Pollution load index (PLI), daily intake of metal (DIM), Health Risk Index (HRI) and Enrichment factor (EF). While the experimentation result showed different concentrations of metal in different seasons. When the Mn concentration in forages was (20.01-28.29 mg/kg) and in soil (5.27-8.90 mg/kg). Soil samples showed higher level of (PLI) Pollution load index. Bio-concentration of iron was (2.59-4.21 mg/kg). It can be concluded as regular monitoring of the level metal is essential evaluate the contamination status.

“…Manganese is essential for the forage growth and it is component of chlorophyll and enzyme oxidases. Mn amount in soil varies from specie to specie and individual to individual it is also affected by soil properties and drainage system (Udiba et al, 2014).…”

“…Higher trend of forage Mn constituent has also been reported in Mexico (Ramirez et al, 2001), Pakistan (Habib et al, 2013), Greece (Silvanus et al, 2014) and Kenya (Udiba et al, 2014). Forages consumed by livestock containing low levels of Mn have also been reported (Sher et al, 2011).…”

Alternative gastrointestinal (GI) parasite control strategies including phytomineral/ trace-element supplementation have gained currency in preview of anthelmintic resistance in the grazing sheep. This paper reports an association of the selected plants/ forages having optimum levels of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) and Cobalt (Co) on the GI parasitic burden in sheep and hence on the productive performance of the grazing sheep of Multan district, Punjab, Pakistan. To this end, levels of trace elements were determined in the plants/ forages preferred by the grazing sheep, and in the sera of randomly selected grazing sheep (n =384). Serum trace element profile was correlated with the GI parasitic burden to determine the possible impact of trace-elements on GI parasitic load. After pre-treatment, wet digestion of sera and plants, concentration of the selected minerals (Cu, Co, Zn and Mn) were measured using spectrophotometry. Faecal samples (n=384) were subjected to the quantitative faecal examination using McMaster technique. Overall 42.44% prevalence of GI parasites was found in the study population. Of the eight screened forages, Cynodon dactylon, Launaea nudicaulis and Digitaria sanguinalis showed top three levels of Mn in decreasing order. Comparative mineral profile of sera was significantly different among the four tehsils (administrative units) of Multan district, Punjab, Pakistan. Mn showed significant correlation with the egg per gram (EPG) of faeces in sheep of tehsil Shujabad, whereas, Cu, Zn and Co showed insignificant results in all tehsils of Multan district. Further research is needed to explain the possible mechanism involved in the role of Mn in the indirect resilience of animals against the GI parasites. These forages might be preferred as holistic approach and possible use as a preventive management of GI parasitism in grazing sheep of the country.
