Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To know the environment contamination and health condition of animals, the indexes were established using wildlife and rearing animals. The correlation or equal probability ellipse (EPE) were created using the bivariate relation such as lead (Pb) contents in the kidney and liver of wildlife, thyroxin and iodine (I) in serum of horses, silicon (Si) and calcium (Ca) in urine of cats. In investigation of Pb, the data contaminated by Pb divided from EPE, although the non-contaminated data was observed in EPE. The data obtained from horses fed by supplement including I was divided from the data of other horses. There was a significant correlation (r=0.8020, P<0.01) between concentration of Si and that of Ca in the urine of cats with urolithiasis, although the similar significant correlation was not observed in the urine of healthy cats. The correlation and EPE created by bivariate relation was thought to be the useful indexes to know the contamination and health condition of animals.
