Abstract
The kontent of selected metals in the liver, kidney and meat tissue of goats and lambs was inverstigated. The kids of white improved breed and ram of Polish lowland breed originated from Podlasie region. Samples of tissues were tested for the kontent of Fe, Ca, Mn, Mg, Cu, Zn and Pb using atomie absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Mean concentration of Mg in the muscles was significantly different depending on the animal breed. Similar results were obtained for kidney and liver. The mean concentration of the Zn and Fe (Zn – 59.90 mg · kg–1 Fe – 28.27 mg · kg–1) in tested muscle tissue of goats. Liver lambs contrained less Fe (48.70 mg · kg–1). The kontent of chemical elements were included within the physiological limits and did not make any tonic threat.
