| Abstract | ||
| In the present study, heavy metal residual concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in rack meat and Longissimusdorsi of Awassi lambs have been determined in sheep in Three areas (Tikrit, Samarra and Baiji), in Salah al-din province. During present study the range of heavy metal residues in Rack meat in Tikrit Pb 2.31, Cd 0.35, Cu 1.69 and Zn 58.10 ppm. In Samarra Pb 1.62, Cd 0.37, Cu 1.63 and Zn 55.35 ppm. In Baiji Pb 2.14, Cd 0.37, Cu 4.92, and Zn 49.12 ppm. Heavy metals were low concentration in Samarra compared with Tikrit and Baiji. Similar results were observed in Longissimusdorsi muscle in Tikrit Pb 1.25, Cd 0.37, Cu 7.11 and Zn 52.17 ppm. in Samarra Pb 1.26, Cd 0.37, Cu 3.31 and Zn 50.88 ppm. In Baiji Pb 1.54, Cd 0.37, Cu 6.27 and Zn 44.84 ppm. | ||
