Use of aliphatic hydrocarbons in feed to decrease body burdens of lipophilic toxicants in livestock.
J. Agric. Food Chem. 30, 98-100 (1982)
Sheep were contaminated with hexachlorobenzene and then fed a conventional diet with or without 5% mineral oil or hexadecane. Similar to nonruminant species, both treatments enhanced fecal excretion of hexachlorobenzene about 3-fold and reduced levels of hexachlorobenzene stored in adipose tissue. Normal digestive functions of the animals, including fiber digestion by rumen microbes, were not affected by the administration of the aliphatic hydrocarbons. Dietary administration of mineral oil could be an inexpensive way to save livestock contaminated with toxic lipophilic compounds, such as many pesticides and industrial chemicals.
