Тhe aim of this study was to determine the content of cadmium and its correlation with other elements in some organs of Hereford cattle,aged 16-18 months,grown in West Siberia.The concentration of Cd and other chemical elements was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry.The study determined selectivity in cadmium accumulation in different organs of the animals.It can be represented as a range: liver > spleen > lung > testes in the ratio of 6.4:5.1:3.8:1.The highest concentration of cadmium was revealed in the liver(0.384 mg/kg),and the lowest one was in the testes(0.0060 mg/kg).Cadmium level in the testes is characterized by high phenotypic variability(C.V.= 59.7),while the concentration of cadmium in the liver is characterized by relatively low variability(C.V.= 20.6).Considerable differences were determined between individual animals in their ability to accumulate cadmium in the spleen.A number of multidirectional correlations between cadmium and other chemical elements in organs and hair were revealed in the study.It was determined that the content of cadmium in the testes and liver correlated to the concentration of copper and manganese in hair(r =-0.55 and r =-0.56 respectively).The technique was proposed to determine life concentration of cadmium in the testes and liver by that of copper and manganese in the hair of animals.
