1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology SymposiumThe complete feed samples were homogenized in a “Cyclotec” sample mill, burnt on ahot plate <strong>and</strong> incinerated in an incinerating furnace at 550 0 C. The obtained ash wasdissolved in HCl 1:1, <strong>and</strong> iron <strong>and</strong> manganese contents <strong>of</strong> the test materials were read byatomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) using a Perkin Elmer 3300 device.The content <strong>of</strong> calcium was determined by air-acetylene flame atomic absorptionspectrophotometry <strong>and</strong> that <strong>of</strong> sodium <strong>and</strong> potassium by flame emissionspectrophotometry. To prevent flame ionization, potassium chloride was added to allst<strong>and</strong>ard dilutions <strong>and</strong> samples to obtain the final potassium chloride concentration in thesolution <strong>of</strong> at least 0.1%.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe results <strong>of</strong> the present study on the contents <strong>of</strong> iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), potassium(K), sodium (Na) <strong>and</strong> calcium (Ca) in water, hay, CFM <strong>and</strong> tissues <strong>of</strong> the test beef cattleare presented in tabular form (Tabs. 1 - 9).Table 1.
