Notes:
Beef cattle were fed corn silage with or without apple pomace andlor fish meal. Trace levels of dicofol, an acaricide used on apples, were found in tissues of animals fed apple pomace. Detectable levels of p, p'-DDE were also found in tissues of these cattle since dicofol, as formulated, contains about 2.5% p, p'-DDT. The addition of fish meal containing traces of p,p'-DDE to the ration did not consistently increase p, p'-DDE concentrations since this supplement only comprised 3% of the diet. The corn silage and fish meal each contained trace concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) but PCBs were not detectable in tissues of any of the cattle.
