The content of nickel was investigated in the liver of sixty-nine pigs from ten different genetic lines, produced in Vojvodina. Nickel was determined by the flame atomic absorption spectrometry after mineralization by dry ashing. The difference in the nickel content among different genetic lines of pigs was not significant (P > 0.05) in the analyzed liver tissues. Nickel levels ranged from 13.02 to 68.21 μg/100g with a general average of 26.73 μg/100g. Average nickel content, found in this study, is in agreement with the contents observed in pig liver in other countries.
