Pesticide residues in soil and foodstuff I. Chlorinated pesticides in cattle feed and milk produced in orchard and non-orchard areas by D. C. G. Muir; B. E. Baker is a Agricultural and Biological Sciences article available to read on EtoBox.
## Abstract Milk, hay and silage produced in orchard and non‐orchard areas have been analysed for their content of chlorinated pesticides. The residue levels in milk produced in orchard areas were about double those in milk produced in non‐orchard areas. The levels in hay were much higher (30% up to sevenfold) in the hay produced in orchard areas and the levels in silage from the two areas showed small differences. Milk collected after cattle had been grazing in an orchard for 3 to 4 days contained 10% more __pp__′‐DDT and 2‐, 3‐, 7‐ and 15‐fold more__pp__′‐DDE, __pp__′‐TDE and heptachlor epoxide, gamma‐BHC and __pp__′‐TDE olefin [1‐chloro‐2,2‐bis(__p__‐chlorophenyl)ethylene], respectively, than did the samples collected one day before the cattle grazed in the orchard.
