Animals, twenty Hubbard broiler chicks, were six weeks old and fed with
diets of standard composition that have completely satisfied their nutritional needs. The
chicks were randomly allotted into one of the four groups (five chicks per group) and kept in
confinement (battery cage). At the beginning of the trial, each chick was orally contaminated
with 137Cs of total activity of 3750 Bq. All groups of animals (control and experimental)
received radiocaesium, while experimental groups in addition to contaminant, simultaneously
received by 5 ml of various caesium binders. I experimental group was given organo-zeolite;
II experimental group organo-bentonite solution and III experimental group of chicks
received acid-activated sepiolite. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after artificial
contamination and administration of the binders. At that time samples of meat, liver and
gizzard for gamma spectrometry determination of 137Cs concentration activity were taken.
Ad...ministration of organo-zeolite lowered radiocaesium activity from 62.0 to 72.0%. Similar
effects were recorded in organo-bentonite administration (59.8 to 67.2%), while efficiency of
acid-activated sepiolite in decreasing radiocesium activity was lowest (24.4 to 36.0%). It can
be said that the process of modification failed to show beneficial effects to improve
radiocaesium binding and eliminating from digestive tract and body of broilers. Efficiency of
protection was similar or the same as in the use of natural, unmodified clay minerals.
