Abstract
A 114 g decrease in the live weight gain and a 160 g increase in the mixed feed intake may become evident at the fifth maximum permitted level (MPL) for cadmium added to a broiler-chicken diet. The concentration of the pollutant increased two and a half as high in meat. A high concentration of the pollutant in the mixed fodder could cause decrease in the contents of muscle tissue fat, lysine and leucine, and vitamins B2, B6, and B12 by 6.4, 2.6–4.0, and 1.0–8.0%, respectively. In addition, the level of water reliably became approximately one and a half higher in tissues; the contents of threonine and vitamin B5 increased by 20.5 and 0.92%, respectively; the concentrations of chlorine and potassium decreased by 2.5 and 4.2%, respectively; the contents of iron and manganese increased by 1.7 and 1.8%, respectively.
