A survey of mercury content in pig tissues carried out in the Czech Republic during years 2015-2019
Original language description
The assessment of mercury content in the muscle, liver and kidneys of fattening pigs and sows was conducted in the Czech Republic during the period of 2015-2019. The samples were collected from sows (n = 31) and fattening pigs (n = 210). The average mercury content in muscle, liver, and kidneys of sows over 5 years was 0.00057 +/- 0.00004, 0.0045 +/- 0.0008, and 0.0224 +/- 0.0067 mg.kg(-1), respectively. The average mercury content in muscle, liver, and kidneys of fattening pigs over the same period was 0.00059 +/- 0.00004, 0.0012 +/- 0.0001, and 0.0044 +/- 0.0004 mg.kg(-1), respectively. The maximum residual limit (MRL) for human consumption was exceeded in 14 kidney samples. The mercury content in liver did not differ significantly between sows and fattening pigs; in kidneys, the mercury content was higher in sows, with a significant difference in one year (P < 0.05). A slight decrease in the mercury content in kidneys and liver was observed in fattening pigs from the year 2015. In sows, there was a significant increase in the mercury content in kidneys in the year 2016. It can be concluded that there is a need for further monitoring of the mercury content in pig tissues in the Czech Republic.
