In the experiment was fallowing the effect of Cd and with Zn interaction on production, health, immunity and content of Cd in tissues and organs of turkeys. Turkeys of the breed BIG 6 were divided into 4 groups. Control group, group with addition of Cd (1 mg/piece/day), group with addition of Zn (72 mg/piece/day) and group with addition of Cd and Zn. There were any statistical significant differences recorded among the groups in the following parameters of cell immunity. The content of Cd in the leg muscle was statistical significant higher (P more than 0.001) in the group with addition of Cd and Cd+Zn in comparison control group and group with Zn addition. Similar dependence was found in the kidney and liver. The significant difference in the content of Cd (P more than 0.001) was found among the group with addition of Cd (kidney 1.09 mg, liver 0.78 mg) and group with addition of Cd+Zn (kidney 0.62, liver 0.41 mg).
