The transfer coefficient of {sup 110m}Ag to a range of sheep tissues and its biological half-life in these tissues has been determined. Liver was shown to be the major site of {sup 110m}Ag deposition and retention, with a transfer coefficient of F{sub f} 7.1 d kg{sup -1} and a biological half-life of 79 d. These results also suggests that previous estimates of the transfer of silver to muscle were too high, although further work would be required to confirm this. There is a need for accurate data which can be used to predict the transfer of {sup 110m}Ag to food-producing animals.
