2. Toxic residues found in livestock feed
We will look successively at metallic elements, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, radioactive isotopes, food additives and veterinary drugs, the transmission of toxins and that of non-conventional transmissible agents (prions).
Finally, we look at the effects of heating on residues and potentially toxic substances.
2.1 Metallic elements
Lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic are the main metals causing food toxicity problems
Their bioavailability depends to a great extent on the saline form in which they are found at the time of absorption, as well as on the metabolic characteristics...
