Even if plants can contain high levels of nitrate and nitrite, milk dairy products are not described as sources these anions. The purpose this paper was to measure the concentrations nitrite in forage, cow blood, milk.The results show that ratio plasma is very low, suggesting contamination with unlikely occur. This finding also proves lack an active transport mechanism transfer from blood milk. anion almost disappears through enzymatic conversion; usually μg l−1 were measured.
