Residual Regularity in Tissues of Layer after Combined Exposure to Lead(Pb)and Cadmium(Cd)

[ Objective] The study was to investigate residual regularity in tissues of layer after combined exposure to lead （Pb） and/or cadmium （ Cd ）. [ Method] I.aad acetate （100 mg/L） and/or cadmium chloride （50 mg/L） were administered in drinking water to 120 individuals of 40 -week -old hyline layers for 8 weeks. [ Result] Compared with the Cd group, the Cd content in various tissues, except kidney and femur, in Cd ＋ Pb group all increased, but the difference was not significant （P 〉 0.05 ）. The Cd contents in kidney and femur in Cd group were significantly higher than that in Cd ＋ Pb group. Compared with the group Pb, the Pb contents in breast muscle and kidney in Cd ＋ Pb group decreased significantly （ P 〈 0.05 ） ; the Pb contents in femur decreased extremely （ P 〈 0.01 ） ; while the Pb contents in leg muscle, heart and spleen increased significantly （ P 〈 0.05 ） ; the Pb contents in liver and glandular stomach were almost the same. Compared with the control group, the Cd content in various tissues in Pb group increased significantly （ P 〈 0.05 ） ; no significant changes were observed for Pb content in Cd group. [ Conclusion] Deposit of Pb and Cd in poultry body had complex interaction.
