Cadmium levels in raw materials and foodstuffs of animal origin and in feeds for farm animals in the Slovak Republic were surveyed. Results are given as mean values for individual commodities from the database of the State Veterinary Administration from 1990-1996. The highest values of cadmium were found in kidney and liver (on average 0.353 mg/kg Cd in the bovine kidney and 0.138 mg/kg in the pig kidney). Higher values of Cd were also found in the ovine liver (0.167 mg/kg) and bovine liver (0.112 mg/kg). Recently, a slight increase in cadmium values was found in the bovine kidney, which may be connected with frequent overlimit findings of cadmium in the mineral supplements of feed mixtures. Results indicate that cadmium levels in raw materials of animal origin are not high, and are comparable with those presented in the literature of some European countries. Both regular monitoring and control of cadmium in the raw materials and foodstuffs of animal origin guarantee that the consumer is protected against unfavourable higher values, which may occur mainly in ruminant entrails. Regarding the highest permitted values of cadmium in farm animal feeds, the data indicate that maize silage, continuous grass cover and mineral supplements belong among the feeds with hygienic overlimit
