Abstract

During this investigation, 162 sheep and goats were chosen form different areas at various distances far from the super-phosphate factory at Manquabad(Assiut province). Analysis of sheep and goats sera was carried out to determine calcium, inorganic phos phorus, magnesium and alkaline p < /strong>hosphatase activity. Results showed significant lowering in serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium and alkaline phosphatase activity.
