Abstract
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied to estimat e the concentrations of Ca Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mo, Mn, Na, Se and Z n in hair samples from Holstein-Friesan male calves, which were infest ed with Boophilus microplus larvae and. also from healthy animals. The se results were obtained in order to evaluate if is there a significan t difference between the trace element concentrations in hair samples from infested and healthy animals.
