English Abstract In this report the results of a toxicokinetic study of
dioxins and furans in sheep and the transfer of these compounds from ewes to
their lambs are given. Pregnant sheep were fed concentrate spiked with a
mixture of PCDD/Fs (130 ng I-TEQ/animal/day) for eight consecutive days. To
one group of the sheep the bete-agonist Clenbuterol was administered for
eight weeks after delivery to influence the fat metabolism. Dioxins and
furans were measured in fat and milk samples of the ewes and in their lambs
at several time points after delivery.
