The Negative Effect of Heavy Metal Salts on the Body of Mammal Animals ()
ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this presented article was to explain the need to
study the amount of heavy metal salts in the environment where animals live, in the water, in air, and in the food and fodder consumed. This article presents
materials from the literature on the effects of heavy metal salts on the body
of animals and the environment in which they live. The cited analytical data
showed that the general information on the negative effects of heavy metal
salts on the body is sufficient, but their effects on the digestive tract and
morpho-functional properties of rabbits should be studied in depth. Therefore,
we planned to focus our scientific work on this topic. The article mainly
refers to salts of heavy metals cadmium, lead, and mercury (Cd, Pb, Hg). It is noted in the literature that heavy metal
salts have a negative effect on the body of animals. We focused mainly on data
on the effects of heavy metals on farm animals, including rabbits. But it is
clear that the authors referred to were referring to experimental animals.
These negative effects are manifested in the form of disorders of digestive
functions, disorders of neurovegetative processes, increasing incidence of
cardiovascular disease, rapid heart failure, deterioration of calcium
metabolism, as well as impaired haemoglobin metabolism. Disorders of protein
metabolism manifest themselves in the form of cases of hyperproteinaemia and
dysproteinaemia. The results of the evaluation of the organism of healthy
animals in chemically and radioactively contaminated areas showed the
accumulation of significant levels of chemical elements in their organism. We mainly
looked at the effects of heavy metal salts on farm animals. The cited
analytical data showed that the general information on the negative effects of
heavy metal salts on the body is sufficient, but the effects on the activity of
organ systems in the body (respiration, blood and blood circulation, digestion,
reproduction, productivity and immunological systems) have not been
comprehensively studied.
