English Abstract After the investigation of the toxicokinetics of PCDD's
and PCDF's in lactating cows from the Lickebaert area, the kinetics of these
compounds was studies in non-lactating cows and is described in this report.
The mean half-lives in three cows of the different congeners are between 160
and 280 days. There is no simple correlation between these half-lives and
the degree of chlorination of the compounds in non-lactating cows. For
accurate calculation of the half lives the exact volume of distribution
(i.e. the fat compartment) and the changes in this compartment during the
experiment must be known.
