[The use of ferrocyanides for obtaining pure meat production in contaminated areas following the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station]. / Primeneneie ferrotsianidov dlia polucheniia chistoi miasnoi produktsii na zagriaznennykh territoriakh posle avarii na Chernobyl'skoi AES.

The paper reports a new technique of obtaining radioactive Cs-free meat in the regions contaminated with radionuclides as a result of Chernobyl accident. The method is based on specific digestion features of ruminant animals. Ferriferrocyanide compounds are proposed as sorbents. Ferrocene is most efficient when introduced into mixed feed (1-3 g/day for sheep, 3-5 g/day for calves and young bulls) once a day. After that the animals can be fed radioactively contaminated forage and graze on contaminated land.

[Effects of Iodine-131 in sheep depending on the content of stable iodine in the diet]. / Vliianie ioda-131 na ovets v zavisimosti ot soderzhaniia stabil'nogo ioda v ratsione.

The biological effect of 131I was studied in sheep kept on a diet deficient in stable iodine. An increased capture and accretion of iodine in the thyroid gland and in the whole body were observed. The disturbances in the structure and function of the thyroid gland, liver and haemopoietic organs were more pronounced in the animals kept on the iodine deficient diet.
