Secretion of Iodine 131 in Bull Semen Compared To Blood Plasma and Blood Corpuscles
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 13, pages 438–440 (1972)
Abstract
Iodine 131 is among the biologically most important fission products. 131I decays with a half life of 8.05 days. The metabolism of 131I and especially its secretion into cow’s milk has been widely studied.
