ABSTRACT
To develop techniques to study transmission of volatile materials to milk, a cow was given 4 g CCl4 per os. Carbon tetrachloride was used, since it is not metabolized and can be detected readily by gas chromatography. The CCl4 was observed in milk, blood, and urine 15 min after administration. Its concentration in these fluids increased gradually during the first hour, reached a peak on the first and second day, and had practically disappeared by the third day. Changes in normal concentration of acetone in milk, blood, and urine were observed also. The techniques employed suggest a method for studying transmission of volatile materials to milk.
