Abstract :

Environment induced Pb intoxication in animal body is actually a cumulative effect of several agonistic and antagonistic interactions with other heavy metals and micronutrients. Present investigation focused at association study between Pb and Cu accumulation in physiological systems of goat (sample size, n=200) reared around a 100 km stretch area along NH–34 in West Bengal, India by application of canonical correlation and canonical correspondence analyses. Both statistical techniques demonstrated a strong positive association between Pb and Cu at kidney and muscle. Observations obtained from two different statistical methods indicated that the overall pattern of Pb accumulation in goats physiological systems as influenced by Cu in those organs was almost same except few contradictions. It is mainly due to the fact that canonical correlation is actually a special type of canonical correspondence analyses where linear relationship is followed between two groups of variables instead of Gaussian relationship.
