Accumulation of toxins such as pesticides or other harmful material into food chain is called bio magnification and it is a major problem in food chain. . During the cultivation of crops, pesticides are widely used to control pests such as insects, bacteria, fungi, molds, rodents and weeds. Due to climate changes, pesticide usage is increasing and they are also toxic to other organisms, including beneficial insects, non-target plants, birds, fish, water, air, soil, and crops. These pesticide residues are detected in trace amounts on a fruit or vegetable or crop produced. These chemical residues are impacting human health through food and environmental contamination. Majority of feed supplied to cattle is rice grass and other grass, there is a need to assess the safety of feed with respect to bio magnification. So it is very important to feed the animals with proper feed. Large number of plants and chemical agents will become poisonous to animals. Most of the dairy farms use hotel and food wastes as one of their feed source along with their nutritional diet. But most of the human diet crops are cultivated with Pesticides and they were using as feed to cattle which is leading to bio magnification, so it is important to monitor those agents to maintain animal health. Our study demonstrated a primary data for the evaluation of bio magnification in cattle by analysing dung samples with GC-MS. Further progression of this research will help us to understand the level of bio magnification in cattle.
