Objective: This replication study investigated whether the (137)caesium (Cs-137) contamination of wild boars could be relevantly reduced under field conditions by adding ammonium-iron-hexa-cyanoferrate (AFCF; Prussian blue) to the food. Material and methods: In 285 wild boars that had been shot in six Bavarian hunting territories during the season (November until May) between 01 November 2010 and 10 December 2011 Cs-137 contamination was analysed. Thirty-five animals originated from two hunting territories in which offered food had been supplemented with 1250 mg AFCF per kilogram food. Results: The control animals showed a mean Cs-137 contamination of 522 Bq/kg lean skeletal muscle meat. Direct (univariable) comparisons of the two experimental territories with the four control territories yielded a mean reduction in Cs-137 contamination due to Prussian bluefeeding by -211 Bq/kg (p < 0.001). Multivariable models that took potential confounders into account (age, weight, sex, hunting date, territory) estimated the effect to be -344 Bq/kg (p < 0.05). Conclusion and clinical relevance: This replication study confirmed the finding of Kienzle et al. (12) who described a statistically significant reduction in Cs-137 contamination by -380 Bq/kg due to the feeding of Prussian blue in other territories.
