Abstract :In this study, amounts of chrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cr);, cobalt insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Co);, nickel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ni);, copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cu);, gallium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ga);, cadmium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cd);, lead insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pb);, aluminium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Al);, silver insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ag);, iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe);, and zinc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zn);, are indicated in cow`s milk provided from sixteen different villages insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Aykut, Helvacı, Erikli, Düzköy, Akçakale, Demirkapı, Acısu, Yaylacık, Çiçeklidüz, Esentepe, Arpacılı, Işıklar, Adacık, Osmanbaba, Yeşiltepe, Mersin); in Akçaabat district of Trabzon. The study was done in two different terms of year. The first term is the winter season insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(November, December and, January named as Term I);, during which animals are fed with dry fodder in the barn. The second term is the summer season insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(June, July, and August named as Term II);, during which animals are fed with fresh feed. A total of 256 samples are analysed. Levels of metals in the samples are specified with the ICP-MS method. It is found that the amounts of gallium, lead, and aluminium in cow’s milk in winter and summer season are close to each other while the amounts of chrome, cobalt, zinc, nickel, copper, iron, and cadmium are a bit more in the winter season. The amounts of metal in the analysed kinds of milk are found between or under the specified rates given in literature except for nickel in milk from all villages, silver in four villages, and lead in one village. The amounts of mineral matter in milk in all villages are found under the rates given in the literature.
