Abstract
Lactating cows were given 51Cr, 54Mn, 59Fe, 60Co, 109Cd and 124Sb together with maize silage. The animals were slaughtered 97 days later and the distribution of the isotopes in the body was determined. With some notable exceptions, the isotopes accumulated in the large parenchymal organs (liver, kidney and spleen), but substantial amounts, particularly of cadmium and chromium, were also found in the intestine. Manganese concentrated in the pancreas and brain.
