The present study was planned to evaluate the concentrations of lead in blood and serum of bovines reared in different industrial areas as well as village areas of Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh, India. A total of 116 blood and serum samples were collected randomly from 82 cattle and 34 buffalo reared around 3 different regions, industrial, urban and rural areas of Jabalpur. Blood and serum samples were acid digested in microwave digester and lead level were estimated by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Mean blood and serum lead levels were 0.67±0.025 and 0.77±0.03 ppm respectively, above the minimum toxic levels in bovines. Higher level of lead was obtained in blood and serum of adult animals (0.64±0.019 and 0.80±0.03 ppm, respectively), as compared to young animals (0.59±0.035 and 0.67±0.05 ppm, respectively). The highest lead concentration in blood and serum of bovine were found in the industrial areas and the lowest concentrations were found in the rural areas and there was statistically significant difference between the mean values from industrial and rural areas. Male animal showed high lead concentration as compared to female animals. 94.8% of bovine had toxic concentration of blood lead level and 5.17% bovine are at risk indicating towards devastating presence of lead in environment may affect the health of bovine as well as human being.
