As a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Station in 1986, there was a radioactive contamination of a large part of Europe.Shortly after the accident, the Agricultural Academy lauched studies of the differences between species in the metabolism of technologic radionucleids in the mammary of productive animals based on the radioactive contamination.The highest rate of contamination of milk with iodine-131, cesium-137 and cesium-134 was observed in sheep (10535 Bq/l) followed by goats (2432 Bq/l) and cows (1360 Bq/l).Buffalo milk was reported for the lowest content of the three radionucleids (477 Bq/l).
