Abstract:

Metals role in food chain is considered as a key factor for ruminant health. Research work was done in semi-arid region of Pakistan to study the copper transfer in food chain. Method: Bhakkar was designated as study site which was further divided into two sites and sampling was done in (S1) Summer, (S2) Winter, (S3) Autumn and (S4) Spring. Three food chain levels as soil, forage and goats were selected for sampling. Results: Cu was significantly affected at site, season and site x season in soil. In forages, Cu were significantly affected in site and non-significantly affected at season and site x season. In goats, Cu were non-significantly affected in season and source x stage but significantly affected in site, site x season, source and stage. Different indices were also studied to assess the transfer of Cu to upper trophic level. Levels of Cu in all parameters were in safe limits except for forage that had higher than the critical limit. Various indices were also studied to assess the Copper translocation in food chain. Conclusion: This study discusses the trace element availability, uptake, toxicity according to spatio-temporal differences. This work could be helpful to check the possible health effects of copper on animals with respect to season and translocation of copper in food chain. The recorded data may be considered as a base line for detection on health-related issues regarded to season.
