Based on the results of previous studies on pigs and poultry, in which encouraging results of a significant decrease in the concentration of heavy metals in the body were obtained, respectively, in pork, poultry and eggs, the study provided for the use of the bentonite clay of the Zamankul deposit (RNO-Alania) as an enterosorbent in relation to heavy metals and detoxification of the organism of dairy cows. In order to study the feasibility of using bentonite as an enterosorbent, studies were performed on dairy cows of the Simmental breed in the Kaloyev farm located in st. Zmeyskaya, Kirovsky district of North Ossetia-Alania. To conduct research on the principle of analog pairs, two experimental groups of cows (control and experimental, five cows in each group) of the 3rd and 4th lactation were formed. The experiment lasted for 305 days of lactation from March 2018 to January 2019. Herewith, the control group of cows was fed with a basic diet balanced in all nutritional elements, the experimental livestock, together with the main diet, daily in the composition of the concentrates was injected with crushed bentonite with a particle diameter of 4-6 mm based on the dry matter of the feed (137 g/animal). The study of the concentration of heavy metals (cadmium, lead and zinc) in soil, feed, blood and milk was performed in two periods of lactation (on the 250th and 300th days of lactation). Herewith, an increased content of heavy metals in the soil was established, relative to the MPL: cadmium - 10.1; lead - 7.4; zinc - 9.7 times more, in drinking water: cadmium - 2.5 times; lead - 9.0 times and zinc - 9.7 times more, in feed: cadmium - from 1.7 to 5.3 times; lead - from 1.1 to 1.7; zinc - from 1.0 to 2.5 times the MPL. The inclusion of bentonite to the ration of the animals of the experimental group, in comparison with the control group, in both study periods (250 and 300 days of lactation) contributed to a significant decrease in the concentration of the studied heavy metals in the blood from 17 to 20%, in milk - from 16 to 18 %. The transformation ration values of heavy metals from feed into the body, respectively, into milk, were also lower in the animals of the experimental group, relative to the control.

Every year, pollution by eco-toxicants of natural and anthropogenic origin is becoming more and more acute. Some of the most toxic among them are heavy metals, especially cadmium and lead. These elements do not decompose. Once released into the environment, these elements continue to circulate in water, soil, and air for a very long time, accumulating in plants and livestock products. Therefore, there is a problem of obtaining safe agricultural products in areas contaminated with heavy metals. In animal husbandry, synthetic and natural enterosorbents are used for obtaining safe products. For example, such enterosorbents are shungites, bentonites, diatomites, clays. We tested diatomite from the Kamyshlovskoye deposit at a dose of 5.0 g/kg of feed to reduce cadmium accumulation and lead during their combined intake. We investigated the feed intake of a combination of cadmium and lead at doses of 5.0 and 50.0 mg/kg feed. The result of this experiment is the accumulation of metals in the liver, kidneys, and bones, and, in addition, in the testes. The use of diatomite to reduce the accumulation of heavy metals has not been successful. There is an increase in lead accumulation in the liver, kidneys, and testes. The content of cadmium in diatomite is 3.86 ± 0.20 mg/kg, lead – 105.0 ± 7.2 mg/kg. The results obtained indicate that diatomite as a feed additive to reduce lead and cadmium intoxication did not show protective properties.

The production of milk in agro ecosystems that situated around developed industrial centers can be greatly complicated by the pollution of the environment by heavy metals, especially cadmium and lead. Milk producers seek to produce not only ecologically safe, biologically fully validand high-quality milk, but also to achieve the maximum level of productivity of cows for the breed (maximum use of genetic potential of cattle), which in such ecological conditions is extremely diffi cult task. There are situations when the level of food contamination of the diet is insignifi cant and exclude them from the diet. It is very diffi cult toreplace with more qualitative.That’s why it is imperative to create some new simple economically-technologically and economically effi cient methods of production of high-quality, competitive milk market with simultaneous increase in the volume of its production. The market off ers the usage of various reentrants in the experiments of feed supplements, new premixes, and etc. The search for more eff ective means remains relevant and includs sorbents (treads), which, while reducing the load of productive animals with heavy meta-lams, contributed to an increase in average daily milk yields. Biochemical analysis of selected samples of plant and animal origin: feed, blood, internal organs and tissues, urine and milk on the content of macro-, microelements including heavy metals, etc. conducted by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (spectrophotometer AAS-30). The accounting of dairy productivity of cows was carried out on the basis of the decade's control tastes. The purpose of the research is to assess the milk yield of cows fed with high levels of heavy metals Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and the simultaneous use of antidiabetic agents. The complex application of the specially developed, adapted to actual diets of cows’ feeding as antitoxic mineral-vitamin premix MP-A is off ered and checked It was also checkedthe subcutaneous injection of biological active preparation "BP-9" of plant origin for the protection of the cows’ body from the toxic eff ects of heavy metals, in particular, it has been proposed and tested in experiments, such as cadmium and lead. The joint action of premix and biopreparatur increases the excretion of pollutants from the body of cows with urine, reduces their transition to dairy raw materials.That allows to producethe milk that meets domestic and international quality standards, and due to the supremacy of the basic diet with the necessary micro, macro elements, vitamins increases milk productivity on average 1.6 times from 3477–4426 kg to 5697–6899 kg, which provides rent-free production of milk in farms.But it does not allow to realizein full force and eff ect the genetic potential of black and red-spotted dairy breedbreed at 7–9 thousand kg per lactation. Further research is aimed at the development of more eff ective antidote substances, which have contributed to the production of environmentally safe milk and to maximize the use of animal breeding potential. Key words: daily averageyield of milk, premix, bioproduct, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, contaminated feeds, antidote substances.

The paper presents analysis of heavy metals concentration in the muscles of hydrobionts in the Sherepok River. In particular, there was studied the content of zinc, copper, iron, cadmium, lead, arsenic in the muscles of hemibagrus ( Hemibagrus wyckioides ) , carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) and tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), river crab ( Somannia thelphusa sinensis ) and river snail ( Pomacea canaliculata ), which were caught in the river segments with different degrees of heavy metal contamination. Concentration of heavy metals in muscles of hydrobionts was tested in four river segments: upper the border of the industrial zone, within the borders of industrial zone Khoa Fu, lower the border of industrial zone Tam Thang, and in the reservoir zone Sherepok 3. It has been found that in all segments of the Sherepok river, regardless of the degree of contamination, most zinc concentration was encountered in the body of the river snail, lead - in the muscles of hemibagrus. Copper and cadmium are most abundant in the body of the river snail in all the research areas, except for the reservoir zone Sherepok 3, where the largest amount of these metals was registered in the muscles of carp. Arsenic accumulates in the largest amount in the muscles of hemibagrus, although in the zone of the greatest pollution of the river (within the boundaries of the industrial region), its muscles contain the least amount of arsenic, compared to other hydrobionts under study.

Berbagai jenis aktivitas manusia mulai dari pertanian, perikanan, pemukiman, pariwisata, perkebunan, transportasi hingga berbagai aktivitas industri terjadi di sepanjang Sungai Cisadane. Berbagai aktivitas tersebut menyebabkan penurunan kualitas air Sungai Cisadane setiap tahunnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsentrasi serta sebaran spasial logam berat Pb dan Cd pada kolom air dan sedimen di perairan muara Cisadane, Tangerang, Banten. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan sebanyak 1 kali yaitu pada tanggal 15 Januari 2017, sampel yang diambil berupa air dan sedimen, dan pengukuran parameter fisika kimia perairan. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di 9 stasiun pengamatan yang ditentukan berdasarkan adanya aktivitas industri disekitar perairan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan metode sampling menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran logam berat Pb dan Cd mengacu pada metode SNI dengan spektrofotometer AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). Hasil pengukuran konsentrasi logam berat Pb pada kolom air yaitu berkisar antara <0,001 hingga <0,01 mg/l dan konsentrasi logam berat Cd pada kolom air yaitu <0,002 mg/l. Sedangkan konsentrasi logam berat Pb pada sedimen berkisar antara <0,01 hingga 52,8040 mg/kg dan konsentrasi logam berat Cd pada sedimen yaitu <0,002 mg/kg. Apabila dilihat dari gambaran sebaran spasial logam berat Pb dan Cd di air dan sedimen, dapat disimpulkan bahwa logam berat Pb dan Cd di perairan muara Cisadane tersebar di seluruh stasiun penelitian, tetapi masih tergolong rendah konsentrasinya dan sebagian besar masih berada di bawah baku mutu yang telah ditetapkan.  The Cisadane River has an important function for human life and other living things around it. Various types of human activities from agriculture, fisheries, settlements, tourism, plantations, transportation to various industrial activities occur along the Cisadane River. These activities has caused the decrease in the water quality of the Cisadane River each year. The purpose of this research is to know the concentration and spatial distribution of heavy metals Pb and Cd on water column and sediment in the waters of Cisadane estuary, Tangerang, Banten. Sampling was conducted once on January 15, 2017, samples taken in the form of water and sediment, and measurement of water chemistry physics parameters. Sampling was conducted at 9 observation stations determined based on the existence of industrial activity around the waters. The method used is descriptive method of sampling method using purposive sampling technique. Measurements of heavy metals Pb and Cd referring to the ISO method with a spectrophotometer AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). The result of measurement of heavy metal concentration of Pb in the water column is between <0,001 to <0,01 mg/l and concentration of heavy metal Cd in water column that is <0,002 mg/l. While concentrations of Pb heavy metals in sediments ranged from <0.01 to 52.8040 mg/kg and concentrations of heavy metal Cd in sediments ie <0.002 mg/kg. When viewed from the description of the spatial distribution of heavy metals of Pb and Cd in water and sediment, it can be concluded that there are heavy metals of Pb and Cd in the waters of Cisadane estuary scattered throughout the research station, but still relatively low concentration and most are still below the standard which has been set.

The present study was included to estimate the Concentration and distribution of selected Heavy elements Cadmium, Lead, Nickel and Zinc from water, sediment and two species of plant ( Phragmites australis and Ceratophyllim demersum). Also same physical characteristic of this river in water , samples were collected of three stations in Al-Gharraf River in order to investigates the possibility of pollution in this area with these elements .three station (Al-Fajr districts , Qal'at Sukkar districts and Al-Rifa'I districts) were chosen to execute this study during the period from May 2018 until February 2019. And the high temperature was recorded (13 ٥C in winter to 30 ٥C in summer), pH (7.44 to 7.8) and Turbidity (2.41 to 10.2)NTU. and salinity (0.01 to 0.069) ppt. Also all the heavy metals recorded a significant increase in water and Ceratophyllin demersum plant samples in the winter higher than summer and in the sediments and Phragmites australis plant the rise in the winter was only in the elements nickel and zinc, but in cadmium and lead were concentration low or do not make a big difference in the winter compared to the summer , Where the highest percentage of nickel and zinc in the sediments in the second and third stations respectively reached 86.2 mg / kg dry weight . The lowest concentration of cadmium concentration in water samples at the first station for the summer was 0.0021 mg / L . Where there is a positive relationship between the increase in concentrations of heavy metals in the samples studied and increase in the amount of rain , speed of runoff and the rise in water level in the river in winter due to the volume of rising smoke as a result of pollution which descends during the rainfall and erosion of the edges of the river and lack of control over the domestic sewage that has been brought into the river . As well as probable cause to exist Al-Gharraf oil field that newly established and located north of Fajr city, was considered a control station and opposite to the Qal'at Sukkar city and south of Al-Rifai city we can be observed through the results which show a gradual rise in the second and third stations and third station was higher than stations 1 and 2.
